AR Rahman - His music for ears for years ________________________________ From: kitcha_swamy <kitcha_sw...@yahoo.com> To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Fri, March 19, 2010 9:35:00 PM Subject: [arr] Re: ARR: Rahman won't be available for film scores during most of 2010 I agree to you 100%. People in the West have always been the giants because they fall under a widely accepted market, which is all over the world. But according to me, what AR is showcasing is his own works in India to the Western World, who majority at this point would have only heard his Slumdog/Couple' s retreat but they should also get to hear our legends many other gems. I think this is the very best time to come and attack, rather than wait for more western recognition and stuff like that. There is this proverb "Make hay while Sun shines" and I'm sure our AR will make his Music Shine in the West too, through this concert. Plus its a great feeling to spread Indian Music and I'm happy to see AR doing it. So lets promote this idea, rather than comparing him to the people from the West. Just my 2 cents :) Swamy aka Kitcha --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, "Nidhin" <nidh...@... > wrote: > > Hi Kitcha Swamy, even though I agree with you that concerts will be helpful > to Rahman sir to increase his popularity, I think the first statement is a > bit exaggerated when considering the people in west.
