Composer, poet Kiran Nath has released her special single - Dabe Paon Chupke Se - a lullaby.  The song was released by Vipul Dev from the New York Consulate at a virtual event titled Sur Singar, held on Sunday, July 24, 2022 showcasing music and dance by several artists including a young man from India. Parveen Minocha and Manisha Jain served as EMCEEs for the event.

The event opened with a beautiful Ghazal composed by Kiran Nath and presented by Kiran Nath and Mitali Wahidi. The mother-daughter presentation was soulful. They followed this with a song Abhi hamari Mohabbat. The next item was a beautiful dance by Pooja Tiwari set to Kiran ji’s Punjabi folk composition Tere aun di awaaz sunaan. 

This was followed by the release of the single. “I was commissioned to compose this for a CD by Lata Mangeshkar. Unfortunately, due to health reasons she was unable to record this. She asked that I give it to someone else to sing.  I told her that since it was composed for her, only she should sing it. I would wait for her to be ready. That was not to be. I changed the  original composition and released it as this number”, said Kiran Nath. “Kiran ji’s Tussar Silk voice gives this beautiful lullaby the exact right tone” said Vandana Sharma. “It is simply superb”

Following the release of the CD, Kunal Nath sang a Punjabi folk song composed by Kiran Nath. Shifting genres, renowned vocalist Pradeep Shukla sang a beautiful Bhajan composed by Kiran Nath. 

A colorful dance presentation by Vandana Tiwari Sharma brought a sparkle to the screen. A traditional composition Naacho Naacho Shyam showed Gopis enticing Krishna to dance for them. A young singer from India,  Mohammad Amaan sang a beautiful Thumri composed by Kiran ji . The grand finale was a dance performance by Parveen Minocha, Manisha Jain and Anu Upneja to  a Punjabi folk tune. 

When my granddaughter was born, Kiran Nath told me, “as a gift I shall give you a lullaby” - and she did! My granddaughter was fussing and when she heard the lullaby she fell fast asleep.

Kiran Nath is truly a prolific composer whose composition spans a wide range of genres. However the Lullaby genre is something that she truly excels at and we hope to see more of her releases in the future.
