Predominantly urban. I am not undermining his prowess in his (fewer) rustic songs. Just that the term "fast and rustic" looked ironical to me. :)

Rustic?? I doubt.. His music is predominantly urban & urbane. Thanks for sharing. Is it possible to provide the scans of the originals along with transliteration? ________________________________ From: Vithur <vith...@gmail. com> To: arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com Sent: Tuesday, June 9, 2009 10:11:41 PM Subject: [arr] "Rahman's success is stunning" :- Raihanna Interview with Raihanna Q :- Your opinion about Illayaraja and A.R. Rahman ? Music of Raja is melodious than the flute. Rahman's music is beautiful, fast and rustic music. Raja used to act fast in the arena of music. He can compose many songs within the same day. But Rahman isnt like that.. He sometimes, takes days to complete one particular song. Raja has a very seperate high pedestal in Music. Some of his select songs are very special. The songs that get released out of Rahman are less in number. But many of his songs are very famous. Raja is very famous in South India. But Rahman has crossed leaps and bounds and his music has transcended to International Arenas. His success in music is very technical and very stunning.
