A brand new single has been released, taken from the companion album to a major documentary exploring The Beatles’ lasting legacy from their culturally ground-breaking time spent in India.

‘Mother Nature’s Son’ by producer Karsh Kale and vocalist Benny Dayal is the second track taken from the album to be released from The Beatles and India: Songs Inspired by the Film, which features interpretations of songs that The Beatles were inspired to write from their time in India, by contemporary artists of Indian heritage. 

The Beatles And India film is the first serious exploration of how India shaped the development of the greatest ever rock band and their own pioneering role bridging two vastly different cultures.

Premiering earlier in June at the UK Asian Film Festival, the film won two awards for Best Film Audience Choice and Best Music. It will now also feature at upcoming film festivals in Thessaloniki, Greece, Gent, Belgium, and Valladolid, Spain across the coming months, before a wider distribution in Autumn.

The Beatles and India: Songs Inspired by the Film will also feature artists such as Vishal Dadlani, Kiss Nuka, Dhruv Ghanekar, and Nikhil D’Souza who released the first single from the album, ‘India, India’.
