The World Gifters band releases debut music video “Yeshu Masih Ki Jai” in praise of Christ

Music is a universal language. So what better than a song on the Lord which resonates with the universe. That’s the goal and mission behind the music band The World Gifters creating their debut song and music video, “Yeshu Masih Ki Jai,” in praise of Jesus Christ.

Released on YouTube as a Christmas bonanza, “Yeshu Masih Ki Jai” has The World Gifters band collaborating with award-winning Oscar, Grammy and Platinum artists to create a musical masterpiece with lilting music and a very hummable and peppy feel to the number.

Led by maverick music composer and lyricist Jedidiah John, The World Gifters band is ably supported by talented band members namely Charles, Roi and Inri. The band believes that music has the power to connect people from all walks of life and therefore is the perfect medium to honor the Lord as the song aims to celebrate Christ through music.

Explaining the purpose behind making this song and music video, lyricist-composer John says, “It’s always the Western countries which usually make the best Christmas songs. So as a proud Indian, I wanted to change that and make the greatest Christmas song for my Lord Jesus on His birthday.”

He adds, “When Jesus was born, the angels came down and gave the greatest musical performance (worship). I also wanted to do the same for my Lord and incorporated prestigious names in the music industry to make this number.”

Throughout the whole process, Oscar Award-winner Robert L Smith, who did the mastering of song, was gracious in guiding John, advising him at every turn. The music for “Yeshu Masih Ki Jai” has been fine-tuned by music producer Kevin Cho (Platinum and Billboard #1), string session by Joe Deninzon (Grammy Nominated), choir support from Epoch House Choir (Global Recognition / Heroes Nation International) and Choir Director Itunu Joe (a graduate in music from Northwestern College, US).

“It was a significant challenge in securing the participation of these influential stalwarts in the project, because they are well-established leaders in their fields,” says John, who is extremely happy they came on board for the song. Directed by Jonathan Edwards, the music video has been produced by Angels Melody Production House, shot by Venkat Gangadhari and choreographed by Vinod Wilson.

“The song is also a form of prayer, urging God to relieve all the listeners from their pain and grant them all the blessings of the world in this Christmas season,” concludes John. No doubt it has turned out to be lovable and holds a great potential to become a success with music lovers.

Rima Ray’s award-winning bestseller ‘Ruby Roy and the Murder in the Falls’ infuses Bollywood, Hollywood and pop culture

Indian-American author Rima Ray’s debut novel ‘Ruby Roy and the Murder in the Falls’  became the No.1 best-selling humorous fiction book on Amazon soon after its release. What’s more! The novel has recently been featured among the Top 10 best cozy mysteries of the year by Reader’s Digest and the critically-acclaimed site Goodreads. It has also bagged the Readers’ Favorite 2022 Silver Medal in the humor/comedy category.

Having grown up in culturally rich countries as varied as Kuwait, Qatar, India, the Philippines, Japan, Canada, and the U.S, Indian-American author and professor Rima Ray has experienced many adventures.

In the early nineties, Rima’s family survived the first Gulf War in Kuwait, where it was airlifted by the Indian government; an event which later became the subject of the hit Bollywood film Airlift starring superstar Akshay Kumar.

Rima also survived the triple disaster (earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster) in Japan in 2011. She was working on the 11th floor of her office building in Tokyo when the magnitude nine earthquake hit.

These and more experiences and atmospheres reflect in her award-winning bestselling debut comedy-mystery novel ‘Ruby Roy and the Murder in the Falls’, with its quirky and relatable protagonist Ruby Roy loosely based on Rima Ray herself.

The main character of Ruby is a goofy, yet lovable plus-size female professor turned amateur sleuth, with a wayward imagination heavily influenced by movies and pop culture. Being a murder-mystery book fanatic, Ruby’s world turns topsy-turvy when she discovers a shocking murder at her university campus. This prompts her to throw herself into the action she has loved the most in detective shows and novels.

As an author, Rima infuses her love for Bollywood, Disney, Marvel and the modern world through Ruby Roy having Bengali Indian roots. There are many cultural references to Hindu rituals, Bollywood and Hollywood celebrities, as the story takes unpredictable twists and turns, leading to an action-packed climax which is set in the backdrop of the imposing Niagara Falls in New York.

The novel features an incredibly diverse set of characters hailing from backgrounds and cultures from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and North America, and some also representing minority and LGBTQIA communities.

Following the success of ‘Ruby Roy and the Murder in the Falls’, Rima is currently working on two more books titled ‘Ruby Roy and the Hawaiian Mystery’ and ‘Ruby Roy and the Fishy Affair in Kolkata’, which would kickstart the Ruby Roy mystery series.
