Rahman's rhapsodies for champions League T20 IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, November 19, 2008]
A special anthem for the Champions League 2008 cricket tournament has been composed by talented maestro A R Rahman, who is known for his stellar work that transcends boundaries. The musician often referred to as 'Mozart from Madras' has various hits under his belt including the popular international musical 'Bombay Dreams' besides scores of hit films songs in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu. Different versions of the anthem will feature in the presentation including the title sequence, music video and other on-air elements during the transmission of the T20 matches. The tournament kicks off in the first week of December. Sources say Rahman would be present at the inauguration ceremony and would be seen performing the anthem on the 3rd of December. Two Indian IPL teams Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings will compete in the tournament. The rest of the teams would be from South Africa, England and Australia. Another jewel would be added soon to A. R. Rahman's crown in the form of the Commonwealth Games which is slated to be held in New Delhi early next year. The ace musician has been approached to compose the anthem song for the prestigious sporting event. http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/43108.html -- regards, Vithur
