A.R Rahman pays tribute to the bleeding city A.R Rahman is a name that is synonymous with excellence in music and he is breaking new grounds with his music each time. With the nomination `Slumdog Millionaire' for the Golden Globes, Rahman has added yet another feather on his cap. At a recent launch of a new music collection in collaboration with Nokia, Rahman expressed his vision to connect India through music. "In today's time a song like `Jiya Se Jiya' becomes even more relevant as it gives the message of embracing everyone irrespective of their region, religion or language," he added. Expressing his condolences for the victims of the Mumbai attack, he saluted all the peace keepers who helped in saving the bleeding city. For A.R Rahman, art is like medicine in these trying times. He felt the need to escape from the city to change his frame of mind and the nomination of `Slumdog Millionaire' for the Golden Globes has been the only good news that comes his way as he lost a co-worker to the terror attack. Rahman hopes to bring a smile back on the faces of the people with this album and claims he would have been jumping had it not been for the tragedy. The album also includes tracks from Mann Chandre, Kural, Mylapore Blues and Mosquito. http://www.screenindia.com/news/A-R-Rahman-pays-tribute-to-the- bleeding-city/397675/
