I am from the Caribbean, and suprisingly, Rahman was not a big deal among most Hindi music fans here, until very recently, following Tere Bina and Barso re form Guru. His only other major hits here were, Mukala from Humse Hai Muquabla, Chupke Se from Saathiya, Main Vari Vari from Mangal Panday, Mehendi from Zubeidaa and Lukka Chupi from Rang De Basanti. All other songs were either unheard or were on playlists but did not become a rage. But I have been a fan of his music since Bombay, (Bombay being the first of what we in the Caribbean heard from him). Looking at this aritcle, it tells me nothing shocking. It was obvious that Rahaman was the only person deserving of thse awards, with his music single hadedly saving 2008 form being a drab year. While all is works were excellent last year, it is dissappointing that Yuvvraaj and Ada appear to be long forgotten by the masses. It goes to show that the worth of music continues to rest alot on commerical success and not on the melody of the creations, which would have mean tthat if it was so, Rahman would have been even bigger than he is today. But moving on from that not amore general look at the other music awards, we have to say that we are very lucky that the talent of Rahman was recognised by Mani Ratnam so that we will be exposed to it. If Roja did not become a hit, or Rahman was not used to created the soundtrack, ther is a real possiblity that we would have never heard the melodies that he has been blessed to create. So in That regard I am happy to see Dominque being recognised after many years of hard work. But I am amazed that Amit Trivedi who did the work on Aamir and Dev D is yet again not recogised for his inovation. While he has a very long way to to go to become a Rahman, hecertainly has the inovation and the talent in his music. And it is a shame that this is still not recognised.

[arr] Recording Methods!!
I had debate with some of my relatives who'r older and admire composers like Madan mohan,Naushad or Shankar jaikishen etc.. From their point of view older ways of recording songs is more respectable. Is older way of recording where singers, musicians and composer used to sing/play parallely is more prestigious than 'cut and join later' techiniques?..then what's the benifit of technogy?..Older people always tell that now -a days bad singing can be corrected using softwares..so is it eaisier for today's composer to record a song? They ask where ARR would have been in contemporary with composers like Naushad,SDBurman,Madan mohan etc..I ask 'could these people use the very best of technology so effectively like ARR'?!!..they fell silent ..silence meant 'no'..and the debate stopped!! want your say!!! -jiban jai ho

Well, this ensemble did just that, and Sonu describes it all as ‘magical’.
“The number is an amalgamation of Western and Punjabi bhangra. It has turned
out to be a great mix. Rahman has come up with great melody. While Kylie
sings her bit in English, I bring on a Punjabi element in the song,” he
tells us. So, it’s South Indian Rahman mixed with North Indian Niigaam and
garnished with Aussie Kylie. Talk about ‘jingle mein mingle’.

Today's World Renowned Allah Rakka Rahman is the same Dileep Kumar who couldnt continue with his studies in his Tenth Standard. He has attracted the full world because of his music. A Special Interview with him Q :- Were you able to achieve such heights, because , you converted to Islam ? I* think I could achieve this because of continous hard work, the passion towards music and God's Grace. There are so many people who are behind this succcess and they are * ** *1. Mellisai Mannar M.S. Viswanathan* *2. Isai Gnani Illayaraja * *3. Zakir Hussain* *4. Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan* *5. Ramesh Naidu* ** *These people have already put me in the Ladder. There is no connection between Human success and Change in religion. * 2. What have you learnt in your journey of life ? *All my life, I had spent it between Love and Hatred. All the time, I was fighting between these two. I chose the Path of Love and I am in front of you.* 3. What is the role of your religion in Music ? *I am a Sufi Muslim. Art is important for Society. I am using Music to bring out some good feelings in the same. I dont accept some movies. The Reason is I dont want to spread religion through movies. * 4. What else do you like apart from Music ? *Photography. I have recently bought a new camera. I have to start learning it. I desire to take snaps of my children in different angles and feel happy. * 5. Why did you stop your schooling at Tenth Standard ? *I repented and felt for the same for 10 long years. Then, I stopped feeling about the same. Einstein once said, It is this Education that stops us from learning. Such an Education sometimes halts our Creativity. Thats the reason I believe that its good that I couldnt complete the Formal Education. * 6. How is Rahman at home ? *Apart from composing music, I dont have much time left even to spend it with my children. They get lot of compassion and pamperings from me. But my wife is very strict and they fear her . * 7. Why is there no Information available about your Family Members ? *I lost my freedom after I became famous. Let them atleast enjoy the freedom that they have!!! * 8. You could have spoken about the Problems faced by Sri Lankan Tamils in the Oscars Stage !!! ? *It is the stage to felicitate artists from the entertainment and Art Industry. There is no room for politics there and thats the reason I didnt want to talk about anything else. But, I cant tolerate the pains underwent by them at any instance. * ** 9. What is the happening which made you happy after winning the Oscars ? *Director Danny Boyle had made the children of the Slums of Mumbai to act in the movie Slumdog Millionaire. They got red Carpet welcome in the US. That happening excited me a lot. A lot of other people have also come forward to start helping them. * ** 10. What did you do with all the prizes that you received ? *Whosoever gave me Flower Bouquets, I accepted the same with Love. Whosoever gave me Champaigne' Bottles, I returned the same to them. * ** 11. Can you say one word on Maniratnam and Illayaraja ? *The former is a person who doesnt talk much, but made everyone look at him with awe. The latter captured the hearts of everyone through his music. * 12. Many of your dreams got fulfilled. What else is left out ? *I would like to create a Music Program with World Class Standards. It would be like Sydney Opera House and the participants would be Indians. We , Indians have all the talent in us to exhibit the same. With God's Grace, all of this will happen. * *All Praises to God Alone* ( Interview of ARR which featured in this week Gokulam Kadhir Magazine Tamil Magazine ) -- regards, Vithur

A R Rahman struck gold with album of the year for Jaane Tu... and best music director for Kabhi Kabhi Aditi. Aptly, the lifetime achievement award was presented to singer Lata Mangeshkar for never having hit a wrong note in her life, as Bade Ghulam Ali Khan once said. Interestingly, as many newcomers took the stage as veteran names in the business. Upcoming talents Dominique Cerejo and Benny Dayal shared space with veteran saxophonist and music arranger Manohari Singh. A spectacular lineup of performances by Bipasha Basu, Shreya Ghoshal, Genelia DSouza and Kunal Ganjawala punctuated the ceremony. In a spontaneous competition for music directors present at the awards, Javed Akhtar gave them an 'unmusical' verse to compose on IPL and the general elections. Weeks before the actual awards ceremony, the jury met to deliberate the list of nominations and then the winners. Jury chairman Javed Akhtar along with Prasoon Joshi, Louis Banks, Shankar Mahadevan, Annu Malik, Lalit Pandit, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Sonu Nigam, Kailash Kher, Suresh Wadkar, Sadhana Sargam, Kunal Kohli, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Ramesh Sippy listened to 400-500 songs as they shortlisted the nominees to the 17 categories. One of the award categories was branded the Tata Indicom Talent Hunt for which aspiring singers from 23 locations in India had been invited to compete. Contestwinner Prachi Shah from Ahmedabad performed at Saturday's awards ceremony. The title sponsor of the Mirchi Music Awards is Tata Indicom. The channel partner is Star TV and the online partner is Apnacircle.com. And the winners are... Song Of The Year Jashn-e-Bahara | Jodhaa Akbar Album Of The Year A R Rahman | Jaane Tu...

From their point of view older ways of recording songs is more respectable. Is older way of recording where singers, musicians and composer used to sing/play parallely is more prestigious than 'cut and join later' techiniques?..then what's the benifit of technogy?..Older people always tell that now -a days bad singing can be corrected using softwares..so is it eaisier for today's composer to record a song? They ask where ARR would have been in contemporary with composers like Naushad,SDBurman,Madan mohan etc..I ask 'could these people use the very best of technology so effectively like ARR'?!!..they fell silent ..silence meant 'no'..and the debate stopped!! want your say!!! -jiban jai ho

Re: [arr] Re: delhi 6

I am from the Caribbean, and suprisingly, Rahman was not a big deal among most Hindi music fans here, until very recently, following Tere Bina and Barso re form Guru. His only other major hits here were, Mukala from Humse Hai Muquabla, Chupke Se from Saathiya, Main Vari Vari from Mangal Panday, Mehendi from Zubeidaa and Lukka Chupi from Rang De Basanti. All other songs were either unheard or were on playlists but did not become a rage. But I have been a fan of his music since Bombay, (Bombay being the first of what we in the Caribbean heard from him). Looking at this aritcle, it tells me nothing shocking. It was obvious that Rahaman was the only person deserving of thse awards, with his music single hadedly saving 2008 form being a drab year. While all is works were excellent last year, it is dissappointing that Yuvvraaj and Ada appear to be long forgotten by the masses. It goes to show that the worth of music continues to rest alot on commerical success and not on the melody of the creations, which would have mean tthat if it was so, Rahman would have been even bigger than he is today. But moving on from that not amore general look at the other music awards, we have to say that we are very lucky that the talent of Rahman was recognised by Mani Ratnam so that we will be exposed to it. If Roja did not become a hit, or Rahman was not used to created the soundtrack, ther is a real possiblity that we would have never heard the melodies that he has been blessed to create. So in That regard I am happy to see Dominque being recognised after many years of hard work. But I am amazed that Amit Trivedi who did the work on Aamir and Dev D is yet again not recogised for his inovation. While he has a very long way to to go to become a Rahman, hecertainly has the inovation and the talent in his music. And it is a shame that this is still not recognised.
