Oriya FM station Radio Choklate has designed Taal Se Taal Mila, a special programme on the occasion of composer singer A R Rahman<http://www.radioandmusic.com/content/editorial/news/a-web-plan-a-r-rahman>'s birthday on 6 January.
This programme, a brainchild of RJ Som and Khirod, is a special four hour musical package on air, dedicated to Rahman's music, compositions, his instruments, his songs, his movies. The programme celebrates the journey of Rahman from his childhood to this day. In order to tap his huge fan following, special contests have been crafted on each show, with huge life size posters as gifts to his fans by Radio Choklate. Radio Choklate is also holding a grand concert in the heart of the twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack. Choklate will give a platform to Rahman's fans to come on stage and sing Rahman's immortal numbers along with the best singers of Orissa's movie industry. To commemorate the living legend on his birthday in true 'choklaty' spirit, a huge piano will be placed on stage with life size cutouts of Rahman to make people feel his presence with his live bytes being played in the background. A huge cake in the shape of 42, Rahman's age, and weighing 104 kg (depicting the station's frequency) will be cut by the smallest fan present on stage and distributed to the audience. http://www.radioandmusic.com/content/editorial/news/radio-choklate-dates-a-r-rahman-birthday -- regards, Vithur
