Episode 1: 

A tribute to the time gone by

Sung by Monali Thakur in her soulful voice, Nanhi Kali Sone Chali is one of the most popular hindi lullabies that instantly fills us up with nostalgia. It is a beautiful cradle song originally sung by Bollywood legend ‘Geeta Dutt’ and is now revived to naturally induce relaxation and sleep with its soft beats and steady tempo.

Episode 2:

Bengal's melodious masterpiece

'Ghumer Pori' is a gift to us by Rabindranath Tagore, a man who reshaped Bengali literature and music. It is a popular Bengali lullaby beautifully narrating the story of a mother putting her child to sleep. For Duroflex Sounds of Sleep, we have recreated this lullaby in the magnetic voice of our very own symphony in motion, Shalmali Kholgade.

Episode 3:

Lullaby composed for a royal baby

We are excited to revive the most popular Malayalam lullaby which interestingly doesn't have the word 'sleep' in it even once. The sleep is induced by the effect of the unique Kurinji raag originally used in the song. It was composed by the biggest icon of Carnatic music, Irayimman Thampi in 1813 on a special request of the king of Travancore to put his baby boy to sleep.

Episode 4:

Unforgettable composition by a celebrated Tamil poet

Giving a heartfelt tribute to parenthood, this popular Tamil lullaby has been recreated by Chinmayi Sripada who has done full justice to this piece of music by staying true to its original tone. Written by Mahakavi Bharathi, one of the greatest Tamil literary geniuses of all time, this lullaby is known to naturally induce sleep with its soothing and relaxing melody.
