The recognition SDM is bringing to our man in international arena is indeed good for him and for our country and for other artists in our country.
Still, SDM music is not Indian music, me think. Our man followed the style and trend and methods of West in SDM to give a music that west is used to listen to, of course with differences. Indian instruments, Indian ragas, Indian insistence on finer emotion in music, Indian outspoken-ness, Indian lack-of-subtlety in expressing, Indian prominence for melodrama, Indian poetry styles and many other typical and characteristic "Indian" things are not apparent in SDM music. I would say that in the entire album, choli ke peeche - ringa ringa sounds much more Indian than Jai Ho sounding Indian. So, SDM music would not open a window in West for "Indian" music. SDM music is western music composed by an Indian. I am still not able to understand why our man chose to make Jai Ho a love song that made it such a personal song for the lead pair. He could have given a survivors' Jai Ho song in that exact situation which is a much higher value and which would have appealed to every human being even at a much deeper and important level. -- Of course, I concede that there are limits on how much freedom a film producer/ director or a composer can take. I am sure that with this recognition, our man would get further offers in which he would be allowed more freedom to give "Indian" music for Western audience. -- Rawat On 2/16/2009 9:31 PM India Time, _A.R.Rajib_ wrote: > --- In [email protected], "Yuva" <rajesh_36...@...> wrote: >> What Roja did to Rahman in India , >> >> SDM is doing the same to Rahman allover the world >> > > > I Must Say...
