Gwalior is in Guinness: Tansen Sangeet Samaroh 2024

The Tansen music festival was hosted by the UNESCO City of Music, Gwalior in its hundredth edition from 15-19 December 2024, in the backdrop of the historic Gwalior Fort and Tansen Tomb.

Guinness had set several stringent criteria for evaluation- a minimum of 300 artists playing at least four instruments, and three songs spanning two minutes each.

But the musical ensemble composed by renowned flute player Pandit Ronu Majumdar far surpassed all these criteria.

Said Majumdar- "We had 563 artists. I was told by the Indian representative of Guinness that in any international evaluation of legends like Mozart, Beethoven, or Sangeet samrat Tansen, we need three songs and each song should be of minimum two minutes duration. So far, I was only focussing on Raag Miya Malhar but then introducing two more was one of the biggest challenges of my life.

Finally at a 90 bpm heart-beat, the speed and tempo of the song and instrumental suited one another and I could compose the final ensemble.

Three ragas were never done in an orchestra like this and to so much perfection."

A Guinness World Record was set for playing nine instruments continuously for nine minutes.
