PM Modi praises singer Cassandra Mae Spittmann for her melodic voice

Prime Minister Modi during his recent episode of Mann Ki Baat talked about a blind German singer named Cassandra Mae Spittmann.
The 21-year-old singer – stage name CassMae and Cassidy had given two extremely melodic vocal performances of the songs Jagat Jaana Palam and Shiva Panchakshara Strotam which led to the PM greatly praising her.
The Prime Minister played the renditions of these tracks sung by Cassandra Mae and said: “Such a melodious voice…and every word reflects emotions. We can also feel her attachment to God. You would be surprised to know that this voice is of a daughter from Germany.
“Her name is CassMae. 21-year-old Cassmae on Instagram is quite famous these days. German national Cassmae has never visited India. But, she is extremely fond of Indian music.”
Praising her versatile singing and her excellent pronunciation, PM Modi said: “What a sweet voice.. and within each note and each word, you can feel the emotions. We can feel her love for God.”
Highlighting the challenges CassMae has faced since she was little, he said: “CassMae has been unable to see since her birth. But that hasn’t stopped her from achieving the extraordinary.”
He added: “Her passion for music, and her creativity is very inspiring. She began learning African drumming when she was three years old.”
“Her introduction to Indian music was only about 5-6 years ago, but she frequently posts songs in various Indian languages. Be it Sanskrit, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Assamese, Bengali, Marathi, Urdu, she has sung in them all.
He further noted that CassMae has never actually been to India, and for someone to be so passionate about the music and culture of a land they have never been to before is a source of awe and inspiration.
Modi concluded his words for CassMae by sharing a snippet of her rendition of a song she sang in Kannada.(IANS)
