An evening of euphony and ecstasyIndiaGlitz [Monday, October 12, 2009] It was a fund raising event. It equally raised the expectations of music lovers for just one reason- A R Rahman. And it would be no exaggeration to say that the Oscar winner surpassed the anticipations, at the Jai Ho concert near Mahabalipuram Sunday.
“If music makes you think, moves you to action; then I think the music is working,” said the Mozart of Madras before starting his magic. His words came true when he was at work, as his music made the audience think and act. ‘Kalpali,’ a song from Rang De Basanti was the starter. Then Rahman went on with a couple of hits from Sivaji. Bollywood buffs were royally treated by Hariharan, Sadhana Sargam and Benny Dayal. The concert was a perfect mix of various musical forms- rap, fusion, Carnatic and Sufi. There were songs in almost every language that Rahman has composed in. However, Tamil songs were clearly the winners of the evening. “Rahman has clearly proved once again that he is a genius. The away he controlled the crowd with his mesmerizing music was really amazing. Jai Ho Rahman,” said one of the fans of the music composer, while coming out of the venue. http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/50709.html http://beta.thehindu.com/news/cities/Chennai/article32549.ece http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/oct-09-03/ar-rahman-12-10-09.html -- - Regards ~ ~ A.R.Rajib ~ ~
