One of the 20th century's greatest masters of the Sarod Ustad Amjad Ali Khan and his sons Amaan and Ayaan have paid tribute to the nation on its 69th Independence Day with their new video track titled 'Vande Mataram'.

Khan saab has to say that Vande Mataram has been sung by several singers over the years, but it has hardly ever been played only on an instrument. The aim is to make our countrymen realise that we are Indians first. 

This idea was by Ayaan Ali Khan and Amaan thought that it will be apt tribute to the 69th Independence day.
