It’s good to see you all come here this evening. Usually, we have a big show with over a hundred musicians and dancers but this is different. We’re here tonight to only play music,” said AR Rahman as he took the stage for A R Rahman Unplugged, with singers Hariharan, Sadhana Sargam and percussionist Sivamani at Delhi’s Siri Fort Auditorium. The concert marked the beginning of the year-long celebration to commemorate 50 years of Doordarshan.
Rahman took to the piano and Hariharan’s voice soared to the haunting tune of Tu Hi Re from Bombay, one of their first collaborations together. “In the early 90s we featured Rahman on Doordarshan and today he is an international phenomenon. We had to celebrate this occasion with his music,” said Aruna Sharma, Director General, Doordarshan. And Rahman will be taking his association with them further with the Big Band, a reality TV talent hunt for India’s best music group. Conceptualised and headed by Rahman himself, it is slated to be one of the most exciting talent shows to hit our TV screens this year. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Genius-Needs-Company/501454/ Rahman fever His Music ~ My Mother Tongue Love Cricket?
