Indiaj music band Acapella Band Voxchord has a beautiful gift for Pakistan this Independence Day.

The two-minute video begins with the group members holding up placards that say, “This Independence Day, we’d like to dedicate a song to our neighbours. A song about faith, pride and grandeur, of power, progress and perfection.” The group has seven members.

Voxchord uses the A Capella technique that emphasises on the stirring lyrics, which have shades of Persian poetic vocabulary but are primarily in Urdu, Scroll reported.

The group’s gesture was appreciated by Pakistani media as well. Writing about it, Pak newspaper Dawn said, “The surprise offering comes just days before Aug 14 and features the singers in a monochrome video. Free of any instruments, the song is quite a treat to listen to.”

Twitterati on both sides of the border has also hailed the powerful message.
