[Rivjot]

'distinctly different' Hm
To be honest I have quite low expectation from this project, after watching the 
promos - which are 2 years old? I hope they have re-worked on visuals / 
animations etc..
Common sense would tell inclusion of at least 1-2 rap songs feat Blaaze.. but 
'distinctly different' .. interesting!

[arr] [Semi-ARR] Rashid Ali debut album on KM Musiq

[Rivjot]

Tabu to feature in music video for Rashid Ali's debut album Click here to add 
this article to My Clips

By Bollywood Hungama News Network, February 8, 2010 - 13:53 IST

Tabu Tabu, who is currently busy promoting her upcoming film Toh Baat Pakki, 
will soon be seen for the first time ever in a music video for Rashid Ali's 
debut album. In case you are wondering, Rashid is the same guy who sang the 
hugely popular 'Kabhi Kabhi Aditi' track from Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na. Tabu will 
be shooting for the music video soon in Hyderabad and noted ad filmmaker Trilok 
has been entrusted the task of directing the video.

Rashid's debut album is being released under KM Music label with mentor 
A.R.Rahman being the executive producer. Rashid, who is based in London, was in 
Chennai for almost 3 months busy with his maiden album. While he himself has 
composed and sung the songs, yet another Rahman protegee Raqueeb Alam has 
written the lyrics. The album is likely to release in a couple of months.

[arr] A.R. Rahman Doubles Up At Grammys Composer Uses Euphonix To Create Award-winning Music

[A.R.Rajib]

*A.R. Rahman Doubles Up At Grammys Composer Uses Euphonix To Create
Award-winning Music*

Euphonix, a leader in large-format digital audio consoles, media
controllers, and peripherals is proud to congratulate
internationally-renowned musician and producer A.R. Rahman for winning two
Grammy Awards at Sunday night's star-studded awards gala held at The Staples
Center in Los Angeles.

Rahman's first Grammy of the night was for Best Song Written for Motion
Picture, Television, or Other Visual Media for his original song Jai Ho from
the critically acclaimed film Slumdog Millionaire. He then went on to win a
producing Grammy for the Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For Motion
Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media for the movie's soundtrack.

Rahman, who last year won two Academy Awards‚Ñ¢ for the Slumdog
Millionaire soundtrack used a 140-channel Euphonix System 5 digital audio
mixing system with EuCon Hybrid to create and mix the music and score.
Rahman chose the Euphonix for its speed, power and flexibility. The Euphonix
System 5 has a 40-bit floating-point processor that can reach sample rates
up to 96KhZ, which allows him to work in the highest quality digital
environment and be ready for DVD Audio Recording.

In 2009 Rahman made film history when he became the first Indian composer to
win a Golden Globe for Best Original Motion Picture Score, as well as the
first Indian music director to be nominated for three Oscars. Rahman also
won a British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award (BAFTA) for Best
Music in Film.

"Euphonix congratulates A.R Rahman on his continued success and is proud to
be associated with a composer of his stature. Having been a System 5
aficionado for the some years now, Rahman has recently started working on
our new Artist Series media controllers, which will be used in his studios
in both Los Angeles and Mumbai. We look forward to providing him with the
technology to match the caliber of his music for years to come," says
Euphonix Sales Manager, Dominic Jacobson.

More than 25.8 million viewers tuned into to The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards
as the award ceremony posted the highest ratings for music's biggest night
since 2004.

[arr] The ‘discovery’ of Rahman?

[A.R.Rajib]

The ‘discovery’ of Rahman?
*
*
*Aman Kanth *

“It’s insane…God has done it again” were the words of AR Rahman, the ‘Mozart
of Madras’ when the 36-year-old Bollywood music composer won two Grammy
Awards for Best Song and Best Soundtrack for last year’s super hit ‘Slumdog
Millionaire’ on 1st February 2010 in a star studded Grammy ceremony. The
maverick musician not only pipped fellow Indian musicians- Sitar maestro
Pandit Ravi Shankar and tabla ace Zakir Hussain- but also overshadowed the
American rocker Bruce Springsteen with the latter’s song ‘The Wrestler’ from
the movie with the same name also nominated for Best Soundtrack award.

With his two Grammys, Rahman is the only Indian to win the prestigious music
award- it’s the Oscar of music- in the individual category unlike his
predecessors –Pandit Ravi Shankar who shared two Grammys with Yehudi Menuhin
way back in 1967 for ‘East Meets West’ and George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Eric
Clapton, Ringo Starr, Leon Russell and Klaus Voorman for their legendary
‘Concert for Bangladesh’ album. Earlier, Zakir Hussain and Pandit Vishwva
Mohan Bhatt too have won the Grammys for collaborating with various
artists.

Despite all the hype and hoopla surrounding the Oscar winning ‘Slumdog
Millionaire’ and its newfound anthem ‘Jai Ho,’ Rahman seems to be right in a
way when he disbelievingly says “It’s insane,” reason being that ‘Slumdog
Millionaire’ is not the only phenomenal work in his oeuvre.

Saying that ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ is not the only good work of Rahman, does
not necessarily mean that one belittles his creative genius. For, someone
who is even remotely familiar with the opus of Rahman will certainly know
that the gifted composer has a tradition of being associated with timeless
classics. Right from ‘Roja’ to ‘Jodhaa Akbar,’ Rahman’s compositions are
known for their riveting sound spaces, mirroring the rich and varied
textures of world music.

For instance, who can forget the inspiring melodies of ‘Roja,’ the feisty
numbers of ‘Rangeela,’ soul stirring compositions of ‘Bombay,’ the
romantically charged tunes of ‘Taal’ and ‘Dil Se’ or the pastoral melodies
of ‘Lagaan’ to name a few. Incontrovertibly, Rahman is the quintessential
conjurer whose compositions work like cast spells on music lovers.

Therefore, with due respect to Danny Boyle and his ‘Slumdog Millionaire,’ I
do not consider ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ to be the masterstroke of Rahman.

As a fellow Indian, Rahman’s winning two Grammys is a proud moment for us
and the entire Indian music fraternity. Yet, behind the thin veneer of
gleaming trophies, I am simply not amused by the way the West is conferring
one award after another to a film whose USP is the glorification of the
appalling face of India’s contemptible hunger and terrible poverty;
something which the ‘Occident’ has always associated with the ‘Orient’– a
Third World nation best known as a tourist haven for nirvana seeking, beer
reeking and pot smoking backpacker foreigners!

No doubt that in the last one year, Rahman’s music has been one of the
biggest exports from India. The prodigiously talented composer has all of a
sudden become Hollywood’s favourite, courtesy ‘Slumdog Millionaire.’ An
‘oblivious’ West has ‘discovered’ Rahman, who, all this while was invisible
in the kitschy and glittering by lanes of Bollywood.

Was Hollywood purposely ignorant of Rahman when he won four National Awards,
composed music for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Bombay Dreams,’ gave background
music for a Chinese movie ‘Warriors of Heaven on Earth’ and composed the
score for the stage production of ‘Lord of The Rings’?

How was the West so impervious to a living legend before ‘Slumdog
Millionaire’ happened? Is it just because ‘Slumdog’ was a film by a British
director rather than an Indian one? Did no Indian film ever depict the grim
face of India’s appalling poverty (remember ‘Salaam Bombay’) with chutzpah?
Did Rahman’s music never reach the ears of the hallowed Hollywood studios?

It is possible if one considers India to be on a different planet.

And that is surely not the case as even we sway to the tunes of good old
Rock, Pop, Jazz and R&B, gorge McDonald hamburgers and french-fries, sport
latest fads right from live-ins, Emo hair, body piercing, tattoos, black
nail paints, ‘dangerously’ low waist jeans, size zero, follow Twitter,
Facebook, Myspace, and dream about the latest Hollywood heartthrob, the
‘Twilight’ star Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and et al!

When there is so much of West in India, how come there is not even an iota
of Indian influence on the West (racial hatred against Indians and ‘yoga’ or
‘kamasutra’ won’t make it to this list)? Is it ignorance, naivety or is it
just the First World being itself?

Coming back to Rahman, the rare breed of musicians was always there, belting
one hit after another while the West chose to ignore the prodigiously
talented Indian musician till ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ saw the light of the day
and showered him with numerous awards l

[arr] Rahman and Harris to perform together

[A.R.Rajib]

  *Rahman and Harris to perform together*   - *R. Richard Mahesh, Sampurn
Media* One of the acclaimed music directors of Indian film industry Harris
Jayaraj is to singing praises of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi.

Apparently a grand felicitation ceremony has been organized by celebrities
of Kollywood to honor CM for his innumerable contributions to the film
industry and other arenas.

Amitabh Bachchan will be the guest of honor and he will be accompanied by
Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. It will be an unimagined moment as it will be
coming together of film celebrities from all languages for the occasion
under one roof.

According to the sources, actor Vijay, Ajith and Vikram are reported to
shake their legs together for a song composed by A R Rahman. Chief Minister
M Karunanidhi himself has penned lyrics for this song that centers on the
highlighting attributes of Tamil.

Music director Harris Jayaraj has tuned melodies to the lyrics of 'Vaali'
that centralizes on achievements of Kalaignar Karunanidhi. The most
happening singers Unni Menon, Tippu, Haricharan, Devan, Vijayagopal,
Chinmayi, Charulatha, Madhumitha, Divya, Neha and Nathisha have crooned this
song.

[arr] The ‘Jai Ho’ girl who feels like Cindrella

[A.R.Rajib]

 The ‘Jai Ho’ girl who feels like CindrellaR. SUJATHA

The HinduInterview with "Jai Ho" fame Tanvi Shah at her residence on Sunday.

The visit to Los Angeles was not on the itinerary, says Tanvi Shah, the ‘
Jai Ho’ girl who went up on stage to receive the Grammy Award there on
January 31, along with composer A.R.Rahman.

She was in New York on personal work when she was called to be in LA. And it
was a whirlwind after that. She was nervous, “palpitations and all that. I
wondered what to wear. I had to represent India. A cousin helped me choose
the outfit. I wore a lot of make-up. It was crazy. The U.S. focusses a lot
on the way you present yourself,” says the young singer, who got back
recently.

The reality that she has won a Grammy is yet to sink in. “I feel like
Cindrella.” Her mother has placed several photos of her at the function in
their living room.

“Winning the Grammy is the ultimate recognition for any musician,” she says,
cherishing every moment.

The team had barely settled at their table for the awards function when the
nominations in their category were announced. And almost immediately the
winner was announced. “That’s how Sir (Rahman) came up with the expression
‘It’s insane’. We were running to get to the stage,” she recalls.

The high school opera bands nominated for the award were impressive
especially as they performed on stage though they did not win awards.

“When you perform in front of the nominees you learn that the industry
appreciates you.” However, there are some people she missed there: Sound
engineer H. Sridhar a “super support and guide” who passed away over a year
ago, and A.R. Rahman’s conductor Murthy “a taskmaster”, who couldn’t make it
to the grand event.

After winning the award, she called her mother in Chennai, waking her up at
the unearthly hour of 4 in the morning. She also messaged Augustine Paul,
under whom she has been training since 2003.

 A R Rahman tunes for Sultan The Warrior
 Monday, February 8, 2010, 14:50 [IST]

[image: A R Rahman] 

 Nevada (US) (ANI): Oscar winner A.R. Rahman’s music for Sultan The Warrior
film will be released in the near future, according to reports. This
computer-animation film, starring the animated version of Tamil megastar
Rajnikanth (Chandramukhi), directed by his daughter Soundarya Rajnikanth, is
expected to be released in April in 18 different languages, including
English,
Tamil, and Hindi. Tamil actress Vijayalakshmi Agathiyan (Chennai 600028)
will provide the voice for female lead. Rahman has been reportedly quoted as
saying that his compositions in “Sultan The Warrior” would be “distinctly
different”.

Buzz 
up!
Rahman’s music of Telugu film Ye Maaya Chesaave was slated for February
three release. Produced by Sanjay Swarup and directed by Gowtham Vasudev
Menon, it stars Naga Chaitanya and Samantha. Anantha Sriram provided the
lyrics. Its Sony Music album contains seven tracks—Kundanapu Bomma, Manasaa,
Swaasye, Ee Hridayam, Aakaasam, Vintunnavaa, and Aaromale—sung by Benny
Dayal, Kalyani Menon, Devan Ekambaram, Chinmayi, Karthik, Vijay Prakash,
Suzanne, Blaaze, Naresh Iyer, Shreya Ghoshal, and Alphonse.


Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada
(USA)
today, commended Rahman for creating pride and respect among India’s youth
about their own rich musical heritage. Zed, who is chairperson of
Indo-American Leadership Confederation, credited Rahman for opening new
doors to East-West relationship in music.

[arr] ‘Sultan The Warrior’ in April

[A.R.Rajib]

 ‘Sultan The Warrior’ in AprilIndiaGlitz [Monday, February 08, 2010]

One of Rajini’s much anticipated movie of the year ‘Sultan The Warrior’ is
in the news. The film produced and directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth for her
Ocher Productions is projected to be in theaters in this April holiday
season.

The film is expected to be released with 3500 prints the world over, the
highest ever for an Indian film. The film will be in 18 languages, including
English, Tamil, and Hindi.

So, the music will be out any time from now and A R Rahman has already said
that compositions in ‘Sultan The Warrior’ would be distinctly different from
his other films this year like ‘VTV’ and ‘Raavan’.

‘Sultan The Warrior’ will open new frontiers for computer- animation films
in Tamil.

hi!..

translation for the telugu review of Ye Maya Chesave:

01 - Kundanapu Bomma
Singers : Benny Dayal, Kalyani Menon
Malayalam Lyrics : Kalyani Menon

The beat is sooo romantic i have no words to express it.singer 
selestion is awesome...the song is cool and pleasant..lyrics are also very good.

02 - Manasaa
Singers : Devan Ekambaram, Chinmayi

This is a fast melody kind of a songheard many songs of this kind but good 
beats help this song a lot...singers sang well...lyrics are Ok Ok...

03 - Swaasye
Singers : Karthik
Additional Vox : Vivek Agarwal

Another good romantic songthere is the Rahman magic in this songit 
would have been better if the lyrics were better.if the lyrics were good 
this would have turned out to be a gem

04 - Ee Hridayam
Singers : Vijayprakash, Suzanne, Blaaze
English Rap Lyrics : Blaaze

this song starts slowly then moves on to faster beats.starting is very 
cool...starts withe the singer singing Hosan... .. beat damn cool...Blaaze 
rap is superbi liked it very much...expected better lyrics.

05 - Aakaasam
Singers : Naresh Iyer

fast melody...lyrics go well with the temposinger selection is 
good.this song is not worth talking about that much but on the other hand 
its isnt the song either where you completely ignore it and throw it 
asideok type songmight grow on you after repeated hearings just for 
the beats they somehow adjusted the lyrics to the tune and speed

06 - Vintunnavaa
Singers : Karthik, Shreya Ghoshal

Shreya Ghoshal is the life and soul of this song...karthik also did a fantastic 
job herebeat is awesomethere is agood feel to the song...the beats at 
the chorus part are awesome...superb song overall

07 - Aaromale
Singers : Alphonse
Malayalam Lyrics : Kaithapram

This song comes in the background.. .since the heroine is a malayali...this 
song plays in the backgorund.. .if you put aside the language part.this song is 
a nice musical gift to all listeners... .i have no words to praise ARR on this 
song!

Analysis: I didnt write this review as a fan of Nag Chaitanya... .but as a 
music loverthis album has a nice feel to it...this kind of album with nice 
melodies and romantic songs has not been released in a very long time...this 
album has a lot of variety of songs...bought it because its music was Rahman's 
he satisfied me 100%it woud have been nice if the lyrics were better...

[arr] Singing Aaromale for Rahman - Alphons Joseph

[arr] A.R.Rahman is a Complete Package - Ustad Zakir Hussain

[A.R.Rajib]

‘AR RAHMAN IS A COMPLETE PACKAGE ’

Ustad Zakir Hussain gets chatty with ATon Grammy, Gulzar and the alchemy of
love ...

*VINITA CHATURVEDI Times News Network *

His nimble fingers caress, cajole the dayan and bayan just like a deft lover
teases his paramour, creating molten melodies in the aftermath, which
transcend the boundaries of the physical terrain and gently glide towards
divine ecstasy. But then, what else would you expect from Zakir Hussain, the
greatest living legend of tabla, who has enraptured music aficionados for
decades with his mindblowing renditions. The virtuoso tabla player then got
into his element speaking on Bollywood, controversies and romance...

‘Rahman’s a complete package !’

In this season of Grammy Awards, has he congratulated AR Rahman on his
double whammy and Zakir says, “Of course, I did! He has done India proud and
now the west’s waking up to the importance of outstanding Indian artistes;
and Rahman’s a complete package!"

‘Gulzar’s Grammy will arrive’

Speaking of Grammys, what’s his take on Gulzar’s missing award? The Grammy
award-winning tabla exponent says, “If Gulzar saab had gone to the US for
the award ceremony, he would’ve received it along with Rahman. Since he
didn’t, now it will be sent to his place and the process may take a couple
of months. It happened in my case too, so it’s not Rahman’s fault !”

‘Beyonce’s great entertainer, but...’

He can’t deny that Grammy Awards are now associated with controversies.
Zakir gives his take: “Grammys now have quite a few new categories that give
different artistes a chance to be nominated. Beyonce is a great entertainer,
but it’s sad that an artiste like Amjad Ali Khan didn’t get the award. Today
these award committees have to keep the commercial aspects in mind to garner
maximum television audience, and the money earned goes towards cheap housing
and medical insurance for the musicians in the US. Sadly, in India, we don’t
have such awards, for which musicians and singers will literally die to get
a nomination.”

‘Bollywood? Yes, of course !’

Interestingly, the man who has been “brought up on Bollywood capers” hasn’t
composed music for any Bollywood film till date. Ask him why this aversion
and pat comes the reply: “Koi chance hi nahin deta! Jokes apart, due to my
frequent travelling, I can’t devote much time to Hindi films, so smaller
crossover films suit me best when it comes to composing music.” And what
about appearing on 70 mm screen as an actor again? “If I’m offered a role to
play Aamir’s or SRK’s dad, I will surely do it,” gaffaws the ustad.

‘Wife makes me blush !’

With Valentine’s Day aproaching, the maestro seems to be in a mushy mood.
So, can he still make his wife Antonia blush? He pertly replies: “I hope so,
but she surely makes me blush! Diamonds, perfume and all the gifts in the
world can’t suffice for the love and caring that she’s given me.”

AURA DIVINE: Ustad Zakir Hussain
