An 11-year-old South African-Indian singer will perform at the Indian Consulate in Johannesburg to celebrate the Republic Day on Tuesday.
Together with her maternal grandfather Dharam Sewraj, who has several decades of experience in the broader South African music industry, Pritisha Muthraparsad worked with local Indian music producer Ravesh Surjoo to record the two patriotic songs on audio and with Keith Koogen on video.
“After we were approached by Indian Consul General Anju Ranjan in Johannesburg to perform the songs, we bought the back tracks online and Ravesh Surjoo and I improved on it,’” Sewraj told PTI.
“This child has an amazing voice that can probably be developed into a major singing talent with some studies in India,” Ranjan said after first watching her sing.
