DVD Review: *Pray For Me Brother*
March 11, 2007
Kishore 

*A.R. Rahman - In 
Concert*
DVD
*Buy now* from [image: 
Amazon.com]
One piece of memory that has lingered in me from my visit to New York City
a few months earlier is a middle aged woman who sat under a skyscraper in a
shady corner of Times Square clutching a tiny board in her weak hand, which
read - *I lost my job. I have two kids. I don't have anyone else. Please
help me*.
If there is one language common across the world it's the language of
suffering and tears - be it a remote village in Somalia or a hip center of
America. That's one reason why Bharatbala, the producer of this music video,
chose to shoot *Pray For Me Brother* amidst the skyscrapers of Los
Angeles, rather than a war ravaged African village.
A.R. Rahman's *Pray For me Brother* is an initiative by the A.R. Rahman
Foundation to collect funds for the UN Millennium Development Program aimed
at eradicating poverty by the year 2015. Rahman spins his magic once again
with a music and lyrics that is sure to have a global appeal. Add the video
to the song, and you get a real treat to your soul - all for a noble cause.
As is always the case with Rahman, the music grows on you.
The video for the song has been shot in Los Angeles, with towering
skyscrapers at one side showing the great economic strides the world has
made and beggars taking street corners on the other - symbolizing the idea
that suffering is universal, irrespective of which part of the world you
live in.
The video is filled with symbolism and emotions. Human suffering has no
color. And it is only pertinent that the entire video symbolizing human
suffering be shot in Black and White. Los Angeles being the location, the
video has a Krumper dancing through the rap part of the song. 
Krumpingis a form of dance that 
originated in the African-American community of
South Central Los Angeles - a rather sinister and aggressive dance form,
intended as an expression of anger or a release of pent-up emotion through
violent, exaggerated, and dramatic moves. (Definition Source: 
Wikipedia
.)
The music has a mix of traditional western and rap. And the very
composition is intended at reaching out to a global audience, the universal
message being - "Are you searching for a reason to be kind..." and binding
this message with another universal emotion of "Prayer". Rahman's
melancholic voice and Blaaze's rap couldn't have merged better. To enable
access to the video across all media including mobiles and PDAs, the entire
video has been shot in Vertical-Cinemascope, rather than the usual
Horizontal picture. At times it is a pain to your eyes watching a *
vertical* video, given that most of the audience would actually be
watching it on television, rather than their mobile phones.
The DVD contains the song "Pray For Me Brother" and "The Making of Pray
For Me Brother" featuring A.R. Rahman, Bharatbala and Blaaze taking us
through the conceptualization of the album, purpose and their experiences
while making the music and shooting the video. Given the non-commercial
nature of the album and the cause behind it, it is a must-have for anyone
who appreciates good music.
