In the making of this exceptional event, Sanjay Tandon, the Founder and CEO of the Indian Singers and Musicians Rights Association (ISAMRA), also has a distinctive role to play.
Tandon said, “Like any normal family, ISAMRA is also a big family like all the singers and musicians. In such a situation, it is very important that this family meets from time to time and knows about each other’s condition,” adding, “Know the trick. I am very happy that the issue of royalty which was raised by Lata Mangeshkar in the 60s, has now been resolved under ISAMRA. In such a situation, we will once again gather like a family and pay tribute to the late, remembering the contribution of Lata Mangeshkar. We will pay our respects to her.”
