CassMae receives praise from PM Modi on Mann Ki Baat
In the most recent episode of Mann Ki Baat aired on 24 September, Prime Minster Modi again took to the popular medium to address the people of the nation. This was a special episode for many reasons as he talked about CassMae, a popular singer, Chandrayaan-3 as well as the G20.
Appreciation for CassMae
He played a clip of CassMae and went on to appreciate her melodious voice. He said, “What a sweet voice.. and within each note and each word, you can feel the emotions. We can feel her love for God.”
He also says, “21-year-old Cassmae is very popular on Instagram these days. Cassmae, a resident of Germany, has never been to India, but she is a fan of Indian music. Her interest in Indian music is very inspiring. Cassmae has been blind since birth, but this difficult challenge has not stopped her from achieving extraordinary achievements. Her passion for music and creativity was such that she started singing since childhood. She started African drumming at the age of just 3 years. Her introduction to Indian songs happened just 5-6 years ago and they captivated her so much that she is now fully immersed in them.”
“She has also learned to play Tabla and has achieved great expertise in many Indian languages such as Sanskrit, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Assamese, Bengali or Urdu. Where people struggle to speak 1-2 lines in another language, CassMae has mastered many languages.”
He ended by sharing another clip of a song sung by CassMae in Kannada and said “I wholeheartedly appreciate CassMae’s passion for Indian culture and music.”
CassMae’s Reaction
The singer was beyond happy as she took to social media to share her success and appreciate the kind words of PM Modi.
In an interview with One World News, she had talked about her love for Indian songs- “I love the way the melodies are built by so many different beautiful ornamentations based on the specific Raga they are in. The feel, the way of composing, and the meaning of the lyrics also make me feel so drawn to them. From the beginning, I kept sensing a deep connection to especially spiritual Indian songs regardless of any language. Mantras are the first Indian music experiences I gained and whenever I sing them it always feels like they are too familiar to me and as if I used to sing them before.”
