making children recognize how different but united they are, and even
with different backgrounds and colours they call to live together on
planet earth with peace and prosperity. The Album itself has a great
diversity in terms of artists, producers, and musicians.

identity. Falgunni who was raised in Mumbai moved to the US in the
year 2000 and with much struggle worked with a number of artists such
as Wyclef Jean, Philip Glass, Ricky Martin, Blues Traveler, and YO-YO
Ma. The singer who has performed with AR Rahman at the White House has
also gained training in Jaipuri music and the Banarsi style of Thumri.
