February 9, 2006 http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/7752_1621290,004100180004.htm The weeklong annual Stanford Pan Asian Music Festival commencing on February 11 will feature AR Rahman on February 14 representing the popular contemporary Indian music scene. "Many people can't believe he is coming and are very excited. Several groups of Stanford students, including members of Noopur-Stanford's Bharatnatyam association; Raagapella- Stanford's all-male Hindi a cappella group singing popular Hindi songs with a mix of Western hits and the south Indian classical singers will perform some of his works including Ghanan, Ghanan; Alai Paayuthe Kanna; and Vande Mataram," says Jindong Cai, Artistic Director of the festival. "Classical Indian music is so rich. I wanted to introduce it from different perspectives including traditional, classical, contemporary and popular, like Rahman," says Cai about the impetus behind calling a popular Bollywood music composer in an academic institute's festival. The other artists performing in the premier institute's festival include Farid Ayaz Qawwali Ensemble from Pakistan, Sufi rock artist Salman Ahmad of the rock band, Junooni, Hindustani Classical Sitarist - Kartik Seshadri, tabla player - Swapan Chaudhuri and Carnatic Morning Ragas vocalist Sanjay Subrahmanyam.
