I wonder how such a silly mistake can be allowed to happen..
The voice comes to town
While the name A.R. Rahman might not ring a bell, you've probably been humming one of his greatest hits, which opens and closes the movie "The Inside Man" and is titled "Chaiyya Chaiyya."
When not contributing to the soundtrack of Spike Lee movies, Rahman spends his time being one of India's leading musicians, to the tune of 17 statuettes in his country's version of the Academy Awards.
He's also the music director for Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Lord of the Rings," now playing in Toronto.
Rahman has sold more than 100 million albums, which is regarded within the industry as "a lot," and figures to draw a tidy crowd when he plays the Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center at 7:30 p.m
. April 15.
"Wake Up! A.R. Rahman with 150 All Stars" is a benefit for an EMU study program in India and will involve American and Indian singers and dancers along with colorful costumes and cellist V.R. Sekar, founder of the Madras String Quartet. Call (734) 487-2282 for tickets, which range from $50 to $205.
If there's a Q&A session, perhaps Rahman can say what he's looking for in Spike's picture. Chances are it's bundles of falling money, but he could simply be trying to remember what "Chaiyya Chaiyya" means.
