[arr] A pretty musical find
A pretty musical find Divya Unny Monday, January 01, 2007 23:47 IST http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1072243 After a stint with Andrew Lloyd Webber, AR Rahmans discovery Karen David is set to make her debut in India She is more than happy to acknowledge herself as AR Rahmans discovery in the world of music. Rahman actually found me, she gushes speaking of her first video with him for Jagmohan Mundhras yet to be released Provoked. 26-year-old musician-actor Karen David who has legendary names like Benny Andersson, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Steven Seagal to her work credit, will now be seen in India for the first time through this independent music video. I was working with the Provoked star cast when I suddenly landed at Rahmans studio in Chennai recording for this video. He brings out the best in me as a performer and a songwriter, she adds. After making an impressive acting debut with the much acclaimed musical Mamma Mia (where Rahman first noticed her), Karen went on to work with Lloyd Webber for the UK musical Bombay Dreams which furthered to an American tour with him. Working with such great artists is like being blindfolded and walking on a high tight rope. You dont know where youre going but in the end the result is amazing, says Karen. Although Karen spent most of her life abroad, she credits her musical sensibilities to her Indian roots. I am originally from Shillong and I guess since Khasis are so musical at heart, it definitely forms a huge part of my musical influences. She might primarily consider herself a musician, but what cannot be ignored is her ongoing achievement as an actor. Karens latest acting stint can be seen in the Steven Seagal action flick Flight of Fury. It was very adventurous I got to play a US Air Force Army Lieutenant and learn a lot of military jargon, she says laughing. Eventually what this multi-talented girl is most looking forward to is her debut album Me vs. Me where she has again collaborated with biggies like Rob Wells, Damian Legassick, and the Bombay Dub Orchestra including Rahman of course. Through this album I celebrate my roots as a Canadian-Asian and I wanted to incorporate that element in my sound. Also I have loads of family in India so I hope I do them proud, she signs off. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whos that girl? Born in Shillong, Karens mom is half Chinese and her dads from Chennai She won a scholarship to the Berklee College when she was just 17 Has worked with Steven Seagal, Benny Andresson

[arr] Nokia Celebrates the Start of 2007 in Global Style
Nokia Celebrates the Start of 2007 in Global Style Posted on Tuesday, January 02 @ 08:34:24 CST by xtv Fashion Lifestyle World's largest New Year's Eve celebration draws more than 2 million music lovers to 5 party capitals of the world; more than 150 million viewers tune into global TV and Internet broadcast Espoo, Finland, January 2, 2007 -- On December 31st, Nokia New Year's Eve delivered on its promise to connect millions of people around the world through five spectacular events being held as part of the biggest New Year's party of 2006. Five party capitals -- Hong Kong, Mumbai, Berlin, Rio and New York -- all played their part to celebrate the beginning of 2007. Those in attendance at the live show, or watching the global broadcast on television or online saw some of the biggest names in music celebrating a truly unforgettable night. Nokia New Year's Eve began at Hong Kong's Ocean Terminal with Atomic Kitten topping the bill and making their first international appearance since splitting in 2004. They performed hits such as Whole Again and Tide Is High after an impressive roster of local stars including DJ Jamaster A, Eason Chan, Grasshopper, Hacken Lee, Joey Yung, Josie Ho, Jun Kung, Paul Wong, Soler and Twins entertained the crowd throughout the evening. Despite the massive Internet challenges created by the recent earthquake in Taiwan, Hong Kong music fans were also able to stream the live concert footage directly to their mobile thanks to a select group of local operators. Moving west, Mumbai's Andheri Stadium played host to a star-studded celebration that featured performances by Grammy Award-winning Nelly Furtado, Indian music maestro A.R. Rahman, and Bollywood superstars Priyanka Chopra, Shahid Kapoor, Koena Mitra, among others. Furtado, a Canadian performing in India for the first time, captivated the crowd by singing two Hindi ballads, Kabhi Kabhi and Yeh Sama, in addition to her international hits Powerless, Maneater and I Am Like A Bird. Nokia New Year's Eve also marked the public debut of the first English language composition by Indian musical legend A.R. Rahman - Pray For Me, Brother - an anthem dedicated toward the eradication of world poverty. As the clock closed on midnight, Rahman, also known as the Mozart from Madras, got the crowd into the party spirit with his all-time hit Humma Humma as well as his Oscar-nominated single Khalbali. Thank you Nokia for making this happen. I have wanted to come to India all my life, said Nelly Furtado after the show. The crowd was amazing and it was so much fun to perform on the same bill as so many talented Indian artists. Berlin's Brandenburg Gate was the largest Nokia New Year's Eve celebration with an estimated 1.2 million party-goers in attendance. In front of this massive audience, headline act Scissor Sisters played their hit singles I Don't Feel Like Dancin' and Comfortably Numb in a ninety-minute set that wowed the audience before a spectacular 10-minute pyrotechnics display erupted at midnight. Sugababes then took to the stage to carry on the party well in to the night. This will be the biggest audience we've ever played to so we were really excited! We love coming to Berlin simply because nobody parties harder and longer than the Berliners, said Ana Matronic from Scissor Sisters before they took the stage. After the show we plan on having an excessively fun and ridiculous evening which we hope will set the tone for the rest of 2007! Happy New Year everyone! In Rio, Brazilians showed that a bit of rain would not stand in the way of an amazing night. More than one million people celebrated Nokia New Year's Eve in a nine hour concert on Ipanema beach. The crowd was treated to unforgettable performances by the Black Eyed Peas, John Legend and Brazilian music legend Sérgio Mendes as well as local artists Funk'n Lata and DJ Marlboro, amongst others. The Black Eyed Peas played all of their hits including Where Is The Love? and Pump It as well as an unforgettable collaboration with Sérgio Mendes for the hit song Mas que Nada. Sergio Mendes was making his first Brazilian live performance for 28 years and treated the crowd to a host of hits from his country's musical history. Speaking after the show, Mendes said This was a night of magic. Sharing my music with the Brazilian audience was emotional and unforgettable. This was without a doubt one of the happiest days in my life. The night rounded off in New York with performances from Rihanna, Ludacris and KT Tunstall appearing in Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2007. Each event offered more than just the very best in live music. Nokia also offered music lovers several innovative ways to use their mobile phones, including the opportunity to send in messages (and a few marriage proposals!) that were displayed on screens around each stage throughout the night. Party-goers could also send messages to the other Nokia New Year's Eve

[arr] interview
Chitchat with Mani Ratnam Hyderabad January 2, 2007 Mani Ratnam is in the city to participate in the audio launch of Gurukanth (telugu version of his Hindi film Guru) on the evening of 2 January at the Taj Banjara. He met the scribes for chitchat. Here are the excerpts What is Guru all about? Guru is relevant for today. It also shows the changes taking place in India. It took a year to make this film. There are rumors that Guru is based on the life story of Dhirubhai Ambani. Guru is fiction. It could relate to any entrepreneur who came up in life without any background. Why is it titled as Gurukanth for Telugu version instead of Guru? Due to some local film chamber restrictions. Is Guru a lifetime role for Abhishek Bachchan? It is too early in his career to call any of his roles as lifetime roles. Tell us about the role of Aishwarya Rai She has donned the role of a middle class village girl. You seem to be stuck with AR Rehman We enjoy a good working relationship. He likes my films. I like his music. We are happy. You have the habit of having an item song in every film I enjoy shooting songs. I love narrating the story by giving it some mood with the help of songs. I make sure that all the songs in the film fit that requirement. The item song in this film comes when three Indian bachelors visit a place in Turkey. Is Abhishek Bachchan Aishwarya Rais off-screen compatibility a reason to cast them in lead roles of Guru? No. I cast them because they are good for their respective characters. I do not go by their off-screen relationship. How do you do the casting? I have the script ready first. I look at the character, search for the suitable actor/actress, and approach them. If they also like the characters I offer them, they are signed up. Casting is a two-way thing. It should be good for both sides. There is a rumor that Abhishek requested you to change the date of release from December 2006 to January 2007 because his astrologer predicted good days for him in 2007 No. Even if his astrologer tells him, he would not ask me such favors. The movie release process is completely driven by dynamics, which are not related to the issues you mentioned in any way. Do you like commercial cinema or art cinema? I love commercial films. I make commercial films. At the same time, I make sure that they are sensible, logical and real. I watched films before entering the industry. I know that it is extremely important to connect with the audience while narrating the story. I always keep in my mind that I should connect to the audience while making any film. What is the USP (Unique Selling Point) of Guru? Abhishek Bachchan. He plays a character with a time span of 30 years. He has done wonderful work. When are you going to do a Telugu film again? I will do it when I get the right script. I like making south films because I can make the film deep-rooted and flavored. I have the advantage of pushing the limits when I make south films. You introduced Aishwarya Rai 10 years ago to the film industry and now she acted in Guru. Do you observe any change in her? 10 years back she struggled while speaking in Tamil with me. Now I struggle speaking Hindi with her (giggles). Now she is more mature on the histrionics front. Did you watch any films recently? No. I will start watching films from 13 January 2007. (Guru is releasing on 12 January 2007). What is your next project? It will be a Hindi film titled Lajjo with Kareena Kapoor. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[arr] RELEASED!!
Audio launch - Gurukanth Home News Functions Hyderabad January 2, 2007 Music launch of Gurukanth (Telugu version of Mani Ratnams latest Hindi film featuring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai) was released at a function arranged in Taj Banjara on the night of 2 January 2007. D Rama Naidu, KL Narayana, ML Kumar Chowdary and Veturi attended the function as guests along with Mani Ratnam. Rama Naidu and Veturi released the audiocassette and audio CD respectively. Speaking on the occasion guest D Rama Naidu said, I am a great fan of Mani Ratnam. I feel fortunate to attend his function as a guest. He is a disciplined director and shows variety in all his films. Veturi lyrics will help the film. I am sure that Gurukanth will become a big success. Lyricist Veturi said, I penned lyrics for his Geetanjali around 2 decades back.
