“Bewitching Esther Hnamte, a 4 year old kid from Lunglei, Mizoram singing” Maa Tujhe Salaam, Vande Mataram “, Zoramthanga tweeted.
Ms Hnamte’s video features several professional shots taken in different locations, from mountains to mountainous towns in the northeastern state. There are also drone shots of scenic fields and forest roads.
In a white shirt and black skirt, with a ribbon pinned to the collar, the four-year-old wears the clip gracefully. Her version was improvised with electric guitars and elements of soft rock, and it received a positive response from listeners as well as viewers of the video.
Other videos on Ms Hnamte’s YouTube channel show her practicing the song at home, with a team seen trying out instruments.
Musician AR Rahman had sung his blockbuster “Vande Mataram” in a more contemporary style in his studio album of the same name in 1997, which received a good response around this time, with the chorus “Maa Tujhe Salaam” becoming instantly recognizable among listeners. .
