Brooke Bond 3 Roses pays tribute to SP Balasubrahmanyam on his 54 playback anniversary in a music video

Brooke Bond 3 Roses recently launched a music video as an ode to late singer SP Balasubrahmanyam (a.k.a. SPB), a gem India and the world recently lost. Four remarkable artists across generations — Haricharan Seshadri, Utthara Unnikrishnan, Srinivas and Anirudh Ravichander —came together in a music video to celebrate SPB’s music that transcends through a lineage of music lovers.

3 Roses conceptualised and created the music video in collaboration with Sony Music and Mindshare. The video has been released on December 15, which marks the 54^th anniversary of the start of SPB’s 40,000+ song career as a playback singer.

The ode, in the form of a melodious song, weaves a storyline that runs over different periods of time, representative of how SPB's work over 50 years has knitted different age groups together. The artists known for their remarkable work in the South Indian music industry have lent their voices to acclaim the legend who has sung more than 40,000 tracks and won six National Film Awards for Best Male Playback Singer for his work in four different languages – Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Hindi. The music video has been directed by Krishna Marimuthu, an acclaimed director in South India.
