  February date: City to host Rahman's first Indian concert
  SMITA ROY CHOWDHURY
  
  TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2003 03:30:46 AM ]
  
  Come February 1 and Kolkata will get to witness a musical experience
  like never before. The king of modern Indian music - Allah Rakha
  Rahman - is all set to present his first ever live concert in
  India.
  And no prizes for guessing where the maestro wants to flag off the
  concert - it's our very own city of joy. "It's very
  exciting for me
  to start the concert here as this city has a lot of associations with
  music. Also, this city is very new to me. This is my first trip
  here," said Rahman, while announcing the concert at the ITC Sonar
  Bangla on Thursday. The concert, titled the Unity of Light, will be
  held at the Salt Lake Stadium. After Kolkata, it will tour various
  Indian cities and will also travel to the US, Canada, the Gulf
  countries and the Far East.
  
  Speaking about the theme of the concert, Rahman said, "A lot of
  things have happened in the last couple of years which have changed
  the world in many ways. I want to express the sublime knowledge
  through my music." Most of the music will be based on his film
  soundtracks right from 1992. "I will present the tracks with
  alternate arrangements for the music. So they will sound totally
  different. There will also be tracks from Bombay Dreams, my other
  albums and some Bengali songs."
  
  The concert will feature other bigwigs like S.P. Balasubramanium,
  Sonu Nigam, Udit Narayan, Hariharan, Shankar Mahadevan, Sukhwinder
  Singh, Sadhna Sargam, Vasundhara Das and Mahalaxmi Iyer. But one man
  who will be conspicuously absent from the Kolkata show is
  Rahman's
  preferred percussionist, Shivamani. "He will accompany me for the
  rest of the tour. In Kolkata there will be some other very good
  musicians from my group," he said.
  
  Rahman has been on the scene for the past 10 years, but why this
  delay in having a concert in India? "I wanted to rehearse all
  over
  the world and come back to India as a professional," laughed the
  star.

  Make more money... more and more money.....that's ARR's strategy now.
  In fact he has done only 5 movies since he performed his show last time in U.S and canada.
  How much more songs he has in his hands to offer compare to his last visit.. probably nothing.

  The last I know, IR is in dire financial straits.
  I think you should help him instead and start a collection.
  
  It is a pity that throughout the history of TF-dom, giants have literally died penniless.
  
  As for IR, he charged premium rates and should not be in this predicament. But aasai yaarai vittathu; if only he had paid his taxes.

  Compared to IR, ARR is nothing.
  IR was COMPLETELY greedy. He made sure no one around him would survive and accepted all assignments, left right and centre.
  No one can be more money minded than him.
  I am of course talking about the 80s.

  PIGS who do not know anything else about Tamil movies except for IR bhajans, should NOT speak, unless spoken to.
  But PIGS don't know that and will keep on poking its stinky noses everywhere.
  
  Especially big fat ugly pigs from raajanGAHM.
