The ‘First Songs’ Celebration – A Lullaby Project

The First Songs project invites you to a special event to mark the launch of its microsite and share the incredible journey of collecting more than 100 lullabies in 13 languages from across India. These lullabies—often a child’s first experience of rhythm, comfort, and language—are being collected and shared so that families everywhere can sing, learn, and grow together. Research shows that children learn words not just through individual sounds but through rhythm, and tone —exactly what lullabies offer. Singing to children lays astrong foundation for language development, emotional bonding, and a lifelong love for learning.

This project and celebration is a collabaction of Bachpan Manao, an initiative to celebrate the abundance of childhood through joy, and play.  We’d love for you to join us—to listen, to sing, and to be part of a movement that values the first songs we sing to children.

Bachpan Manao, Loriya Sunao!

Let’s celebrate lullabies. Let’s celebrate childhood.
