DESCRIPTION:
In honor of Canada, Minnal Music is proud to release “We Thank You Canada” anthem to reflect the sentiments of the various ethnic cultures. Some of Toronto's finest session musicians, Ethnic Artists, engineers and a Multi Cultural Choir came together to create this iconic anthem. The anthem recorded in 7 different languages (English, French, Tamil, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese & Punjabi) harmoniously blending together as one and echoes the sentiments of this great nation.
Composed by Pravin Mani, who is a long term associate of Dual Oscar winning composer AR Rahman, this song will capture peoples heart. Pravin has collaborated with AR Rahman on numerous big projects such as “Slum Dog millionaire” and is extremely talented in producing good music.
The Producer/Singer of the Tamil lyrics of this song, Senthil Thirugnana himself represents the typical “Immigrant Success” story where he came with nothing and has made the best out of what Canada has offered. In a way he wants to give it back to Canada musically and is hoping to unite people of all walks, languages & religions with one slogan “Thank You Canada” rekindling the memories for all of us.
