On Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday, three-time Grammy Award-winning composer Ricky Kej performs music from his acclaimed album Gandhi — Mantras of Compassion. Kej, a UN Goodwill Ambassador and recipient of India’s fourth-highest civilian award, Padma Shri, blends ancient Indian mantras with global musical traditions and contemporary orchestration. His sweeping melodies and meditative soundscapes honor Gandhi’s legacy, inviting audiences to reflect on the power of nonviolence, compassion and unity in today’s world.

 

The music Kej makes is not just immersive and meditative — it’s a medium to appreciate the whole reason behind our existence.
— Rolling Stone
