Mumbai: AR Rahman is scaling one milestone after
another. The 'Mozart of Madras' performed at the White House in front
of President Barack Obama and Indian PM Manmohan Singh to mark the
latter's three-day visit to the US.
He sang two tracks --Jai Ho and Dreams on Fire -- from his Oscar-winning movie
Slumdog Millionaire.
As
part of an initiative by the government authorities, Rahman performed
with Indian and western artistes to welcome Singh in the US.
A
source said, "It was an electrifying performance celebrating
brotherhood between India and the US. Rahman set the mood for Manmohan
Singh's three-day visit to the US. High level government officials of
both countries witnessed this performance."
Rahman has a great
fan following in the US. "He was the best person to have during this
crucial meeting of the two country's heads. There were bhangra performers too
at the event. Rahman also teamed up with musician Taku
Hirano with whom he had performed at Time magazine's gala event that
had crowned the 100 Most Influential people of the world in New York
City."
