The Magic of A.R. Rahman


Anyone familiar with the Oscar Triumph of "Slumdog Millionaire" will no doubt by now have heard of A.R. Rahman who walked away with a pair of Oscars for best song and best score. Unknown in the rest of the world, he has sold millions of records in his homeland. I took the opportunity to order a 3Cd collection which seemed like good value for money at just under $8. It turned out to be more than a bargain - almost 4 1/2 hours of world flavored pop which meanders through a myriad styles but always retaining that South Asian feel. I plan to order another copy to share with family or friend. I encourage you to check it out as well.
