Indian composer AR Rahman is an international sensation, and rightly so.
Nicknamed the “the Mozart of Madras” and “Isai Puyal (the Musical Storm),” Rahman’s music effortlessly embodies classical traditions of India and the most modern global music, giving hope to India’s brilliant “Bollywood” film industry that it will be able to transcend classics to keep making movies that resonate with a billion Indians today. AR Rahman has won almost every music industry award in the world and, dernit, he deserves them.
