The Beatles & India Documentary The first single from The Beatles and India is available now, and features Indian singer-songwriter Nikhil D’Souza poignantly performing John Lennon’s love letter to the country - ‘India, India’. Nikhil’s rich and emotive vocals are framed by a meditative guitar and sitar drone, in a contemporary take on a track originally recorded by John Lennon in 1980, but inspired by Lennon’s memories of the time the Beatles spent studying Transcendental Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Rishikesh in 1968. Nikhil is evidence in himself of the long link imbued by the Beatles between Western and Indian music, with songs such as Silver and Gold becoming a favourite and being playlisted on BBC Radio 2 in the UK, and other tracks of his achieving millions (and in the case of the song ‘Vaaste’, billions) of listens and views across the world.
