Mark Hoda, Chairman of the Gandhi Foundation says, “In today’s conflict-torn world, we need more harmony. We are delighted to support Bhavik Haria’s new album, ‘Sama’, which perfectly aligns with our values to promote unity, peace, and balance. We are behind Sama’s journey for goodwill and compassion.”

From Birmingham, Bhavik will go on to perform in Manchester on 9 June and ends the tour in London on 23 June.

‘Sama’ The Album

Bhajan is a centuries old musical genre of devotional songs originating in India and ‘Sama’ honours the essence of bhajans. The album takes the listener on a soulful journey of transformation, transcending religious labels. It explores themes of gratitude, compassion, and the liberating power of forgiveness. Bhavik has a musical gift and has evolved the sacred vibration of bhajans to engage with new audiences. ‘Sama’ has been produced with celebrated musicians in the UK and in India to enhance the listeners connection with each song, the album has a QR code for people to see an English translation of the lyrics from Hindi. ‘Sama’ is part of Bhavik’s mission to #KeepBhajansAlive which he successfully started in 2020.
