Gulzar is trying to take Rabindranath Tagore's songs to a larger audience
Eminent writer-lyricist Gulzar will translate Bengali songs penned by Rabindranath Tagore into Hindi.
Saregama chairman Sanjiv Goenka on Monday announced that they will be coming out with a Hindi album with Gulzar's interpretation of Tagore's famous songs.
This is an 'audio-video journey' where Gulzar narrates his interpretation along with musical renditions done by Shantanu Moitra, Shaan and Shreya Ghosal.
"We are translating Tagore songs in Hindi to take it to a larger audience," Sanjiv said.
Besides this, he said they are also making an encyclopedia of all-Tagore songs numbering around 2213.
It would soon be available in a 10-volume pack under the title Shruti Gitabitan.
