Rahman Jai Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour. The North American leg of the tour is slated to begin on June 11 at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., with dates booked through July 3 performance at the Toyota Center in Houston. For this massive international tour, Rahman is leaving no stone unturned. It is reported that Rahman is collaborating with creative director Amy Tinkham and make it both visually and aurally appealing to his international fans. A well known director/choreographer, Amy Tinkhan is part of McDonald Selznick Associates (MSA) who represent some of the finest stage directors and production designers in the business. MSA has so far executed some of the top grossing tours of all time, including Madonna's 2008 Sticky Sweet Tour (the highest grossing tour by a female artist in history), Celine Dion's Taking Chances Tour, Cher's Living Proof Farewell Tour, Michael Jackson's HIStory Tour, Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/Love Show, and Paul McCartney's Driving Tour. According to reports, Rahman's concert in North America will be a theatrical experience with dance and acrobatics. However, at its core its going to be Indian. The show will feature changing sets, large images on LED screens and a spectacular cast of musicians and dancers from across the globe. The surprises don't end here. The Journey Home World Tour, will also feature tracks that Rahman was working on with the late Michael Jackson before his tragic death. In addition to songs from Slumdog Millionaire, fans will also be treated to his bollywood hits from Lagaan, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Dil Se, Rang DeBasanti and Roja. The concert series will be produced by Deepak Gattani, and will travel to over twenty international arenas including The Forum in Los Angeles, The Patriot Center in Washington, D.C., American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas and Wembley Arena and the O2 Arena in London. Concert will also feature tracks that Rahman was working on with the late Michael Jackson before his tragic death - OH MY GOD!!! We will finally hear Ekam Satyam WOOHHOOO.

Re: [arr] Which one song by ARR best summarizes who ARR really is?
my choices are..

Based on what you love about ARR, what you know about his life, his personality, his being, which song do you think best represents him as a person? I'm not only talking about music, but lyrics and music combined. For me, it would have to be a song that he sang himself, since those songs are usually closest to his heart. My top 5 choices are: Dil Se Re - Dil Se Maa Tujhe Salam - Vande Mataram Only You - Vande Mataram Meherbaan - Ada Khwaja Mere Khwaja - Jodha Akbar Right now, I cannot choose just one.

Add to that our group meeting with AR the day before the concert..!! that was indeed unforgettable..October 7th, 2005 it was.. On Sun, Jun 21, 2009 at 6:09 AM, Gopal Srinivasan catchg...@gmail.comwrote: http://www.flickr.com/photos/arrahmanfans/3645226305/ Our man, Rahman Musician A.R. Rahman has his own Barmy Army — some 15,000 diehard fans who follow their idol’s every move. Anirban Das Mahapatra meets some of them ALL FOR ONE: Members of the A.R. Rahman fan club are all pepped up before a concert in Calicut this year Just in case you thought you knew everything about A.R. Rahman and were his biggest fan under the sun, here’s a reality check. Surely, you wouldn’t know anything about the ad jingles he once composed for brands ranging from Hero Puch to Leo Coffee, would you? Or are you, for that matter, aware that he’s lending the soundtrack to an IMAX production titled Heart of India? And have you the distinction of being physically present at all concerts the music director has had on Indian soil till date? Chances are you haven’t. That is what makes people like Gopal Srinivasan and Vijay Aiyar a special breed — a breed that has been steadily growing for the past decade or so to now include some 15,000 music-crazed men and women who live, breathe and swing to A.R. Rahman’s magic for every living moment. Welcome to the “real” A.R. Rahman fan club. “It’s funny how a simple initiative on our part went such a long way in bringing Rahman fans together,” says Srinivasan, a Hyderabad-based software professional. “All we wanted to do was form a forum where people could interact with one another and contribute to an information pool about the life and works of our favourite musician. But look how far it has come now.” Srinivasan isn’t exaggerating. Even as Rahman, who won two Oscars for the film Slumdog Millionaire, came to Pune last month to perform at a high-octane concert that marked the beginning of his Jai Ho world tour, the army of Rahman fans, led by Srinivasan and Aiyar, created a unique record of attending each of Rahman’s concerts ever performed in India. “Some of us have even made it a point to be present at his concerts abroad,” says Aiyar. For Srinivasan, who’s now at the helm of all activity undertaken by Rahman’s own “Barmy Army” — a name for English cricket fans who follow the team — the journey began over 15 years ago. As an impressionable youth in his late teens, he was completely bowled over by music from Roja, the 1992 film that made Rahman a household name across India. “The music was so different, so new. It hooked me so badly that I went mad hunting down every single bit of music that had ever come out of Rahman’s studio.” Once the Internet arrived in the late 1990s, he logged in only to receive a pleasant surprise. “The net was full of Rahman trivia, much more than I knew. Clearly, it looked like a nice platform for exchanging ideas, and I decided to take my hunt online.” Very soon, he had struck an online friendship with Aiyar, a music promoter and another die-hard Rahman fan. The duo decided to form an online fan club to “create a forum for like-minded individuals to share thoughts about Rahman,” says Aiyar. That was 11 years ago. “By 2000, when I joined, there were some 50 emails being swatted around daily among members, with crazy details and trivia about Rahman’s music,” says 28-year-old Bangalore-based software engineer Gomtesh Upadhye. The group, reveals Aiyar, was eventually taken over by Yahoo!. Recently, the group went on to open a page on Facebook, where the membership quickly swelled to 3 lakh. Meanwhile, other bonds were being struck. Sometime in 2003, almost miraculously, Aiyar boarded a flight to discover Rahman seated beside him. A personal bond was quickly forged. Rahman was slated to perform in Bangalore — the city where most of the group’s fan base happens to be. It was a golden opportunity for the group to get involved in a more direct way. “We helped out with dealing with sponsors, ticketing and even backstage work,” says Upadhye. “There were about 40 of us. We did everything we could do, for free.” It didn’t go unrequited. The group was treated to a personal interaction with Rahman after the show, an experience most of them describe as “awesome.” Says Srinivasan, “We learnt that Rahman himself had been closely following our activity on the Internet. Since then, he’s reciprocated with great warmth to all our activities. It’s been a very special association.” Rahman eventually invited Srinivasan and Aiyar to handle parts of his promotional initiatives. Srinivasan is now in charge of all content on Rahman’s official website, while Aiyar manages KM Musiq, Rahman’s music label, apart from doubling as his media

For example in the song Ishq Bina Ishq Bina from Taal you had mixed the sound of a CPU speaker between 5:15 and 5:17. Do you mix them in your songs as a puzzle - to be solved by the listners ? -- 4. What according to you is the best music set-up to listen, discover and enjoy your songs completely, with all the special effects. -- 5. When I was a teenager back in the 90s I saw one of your interviews on TV. In that interview you had said that a lot of Directors are not happy with your music, but the music went on to become hits. Did those directors ever come back to you again ? -- 6. You had expressed your wish to do music for a film like Shankarabharanam. Do you think that you will ever get to work on such a movie in today's trend of commercial cinema? -- 7. We have seen many of your greatest tunes not getting the praise they deserve because either they were part of a non-commercial movie of a one that flopped (eg: Ada, Zubeida, Bose-TFH, Meenaxi, Tehzeeb, one 2 k 4, Gang Master, Palnati Pourusham etc). But when you use any part of these overlooked songs in other movies, critics slam you to be repetitive, how do you repond to it. -- 8. Do you think your style of music has indirectly put any pressure on other music directors to keep-up with you and make music similar to yours ? -- 9. We all know that you are a very busy person, do you regularly listen to music of other music directors by your instincts or when someone recommends it. -- 10. You had once said that you can make enough songs for 5 movies with the Background music created in one movie. We see that some of the current music directors are copying from your back-ground music (Eg: vishal shekar from Swades to salaam nameste- my dil goes mmm.. caught by an active fan in the yahoo group). How do you feel when other music directors copy your songs. (We don't know how many of your background scores have inspired other MDs yet :o) -- 11. Shivamani once said that you were the first music director in India who insisted on printing the names of artists on the cassette and cd credits (eg keyboard player, sound engineer, flute etc).

When the music of Lagaan, Jodha Akbar, Rang de Basanti, Zubeida, Thakshak, The legend of bhagat singh etc... was released, early critics wrote them off with comments such as Not expected from Rahman.

For example in the song Ishq Bina Ishq Bina from Taal you had mixed the sound of a CPU speaker between 5:15 and 5:17. Do you mix them in your songs as a puzzle - to be solved by the listners ? -- 4. What according to you is the best music set-up to listen, discover and enjoy your songs completely, with all the special effects. -- 5. When I was a teenager back in the 90s I saw one of your interviews on TV. In that interview you had said that a lot of Directors are not happy with your music, but the music went on to become hits. Did those directors ever come back to you again ? -- 6. You had expressed your wish to do music for a film like Shankarabharanam. Do you think that you will ever get to work on such a movie in today's trend of commercial cinema? -- 7. We have seen many of your greatest tunes not getting the praise they deserve because either they were part of a non-commercial movie of a one that flopped (eg: Ada, Zubeida, Bose-TFH, Meenaxi, Tehzeeb, one 2 k 4, Gang Master, Palnati Pourusham etc). But when you use any part of these overlooked songs in other movies, critics slam you to be repetitive, how do you repond to it. -- 8. Do you think your style of music has indirectly put any pressure on other music directors to keep-up with you and make music similar to yours ? -- 9. We all know that you are a very busy person, do you regularly listen to music of other music directors by your instincts or when someone recommends it. -- 10. You had once said that you can make enough songs for 5 movies with the Background music created in one movie. We see that some of the current music directors are copying from your back-ground music (Eg: vishal shekar from Swades to salaam nameste- my dil goes mmm.. caught by an active fan in the yahoo group). How do you feel when other music directors copy your songs. (We don't know how many of your background scores have inspired other MDs yet :o) -- 11. Shivamani once said that you were the first music director in India who insisted on printing the names of artists on the cassette and cd credits (eg keyboard player, sound engineer, flute etc). That was a great gesture, but how open was the music industry to this concept ? -- 12. How successful have you been in convincing
