AR Rahman’s Independence Day treat – Jagao mere des ko song: watch Coke Studio@MTV video!

For the day we celebrate freedom, the music mogul has created the perfect tune for season 3 of the show
After creating the melodious composition Zariya for Coke Studio@MTV Season 3 recently, AR Rahman comes up with another gem for the musical extravaganza that sets the perfect note for this Independence Day.

This time the music maestro blends contrasting styles in the song – Jagao mere des ko – in a way only he can! After getting almost lost in our dreams after listening Rahman’s soothing composition, wethinks only the master could have slipped in a heavily Carnatic-influenced rhythm section with a heavy dose of guitar, spiced with the powerful vocals of Suchi and Blaaze. Together they create a brilliant sound, one like you’ve never heard before.

Based on original Bengali lyrics by Rabindranath Tagore, this one has Prasoon Joshi’s inspiring and thought-provoking lyrics – a mix of Bengali and Hindi that is well worth a listen. Here’s another chance to hear Rahman effortlessly crooning the high-pitched track with such ease.

AR Rahman turns Bollywood filmmaker!

Those of whom have witnessed or experienced the magic of the Mozart of Madras’ music will now get to witness his writing skills too!

AR Rahman has turned a film producer and from what we hear, the debut project of the musical maestro will go on floors late this year. There was buzz about Rahman floating a production house YM Movies sometime back, guess there was indeed truth in those stories. The double Oscar winner along with Eros International is co-producing a Hindi film. And it’s not just that India’s own musical genius has also co-written the story. Now it doesn’t come as surprise that Rahman who is donning so many hats for this dream project has also decided to compose music for this film.

After all a man who has given soul of sound to so many hit films, he would not want to take that away from his own venture, right? So what are you expecting from the musical hit maker – a romantic film, a musical or then a hatke action flick? Don’t know about that as yet, but be assured we will be the first ones to tell you that!
