Zara Halke- Kabir | Arko – Kolkata | Sandra – Munich | Ida – Minessota | Three souls | One hope (2021)


Kabir was a 15th-century Indian mystic poet and saint, whose writings influenced Bhakti movement and his verses are found in Sikhism’s scripture Guru Granth Sahib. He was a poet of equality, a poet of love, a poet against all divisive forces.

We three friends from three countries, Sandra Chatterjee from Munich, Germany, Ida Jo from Minnesota, USA and myself Arko Mukhaerjee from Kolkata, India bring to you our humble interpretation of the song. This is a improvised version of this legendary song where we have tried to give our humble best. All three of us, living in these trying times, hope sincerely that human kind finds it’s thread of oneness, through love and togetherness.

This video is edited and partly shot by our dear brother Amit Biswas, a sincere village boy, who have tirelessly worked during the entire time of countrywide lockdown, to support the poor and underprivileged of his area. We express our gratitude to him and every one who have helped in the making of this video.
