A R Rahman, the maestro of Indian music is coming to US and Canada after four years for a musical extravaganza, called 3rd Dimension World Tour. This is going to be a great opportunity for the people like me who love Indian music and want to see the musical personalities at their live concerts. A R Rahman will be in US and Canada almost for a month from 27th May 2007 to 17th June 2007 and performing this concert (3rd Dimension World Tour) at nine different centers (Atlanta, San Francisco, Vancouver, Houston, Chicago, Toronto, Dallas, New York and Washington) of United Sates of America and Canada.
A R Rahman means always a special means of Indian music. He is the composer who defines a new tradition of Indian music. He is the landmark of Indian music. In today’s picture Indian music could have not been able to sustain the same glory and popularity without the contribution of A R Rahman. That was Rahul Dev Barman who first introduced the mild flavor of western music into the lyrics based rich Indian music and this is Rahman who completed that experiment of putting together the western and Indian music. The film ‘Roja‘ was the first break for Rahman in earlier 90s. After that he never looked back. Rahman means a new way and rhymes of Indian Hindi songs. He was the music director of Bombay Dream (2002) which had a great success in England. The famous music composer Andrew Lloyd Webber appointed Rahman for this movie. Rahman is mainly famous for his contribution in Bollywood Hindi film music. He popularized the Bollywood Hindi movie song all over the world.
A R Rahman concert means full with great musicians and renowned technicians from India. All these nine concerts has been well planned and strategically formed to give the maximum to his audiences. A troupe of 70 people will put their creative arts together to produce something memorable for their audiences. This spectacular musical show will be full with Rahman’s all old and new famous songs from his own compositions. The groups of dancer will also perform during the songs to make the show lively to its audience. The singers like Shukhwinder, Hariharan, Sadhana Sargam, Madhushree, Naresh Iyer, Chitra will be the co-singer of this 3rd dimension tour of Rahman. Any Rahman’s concert can not be fulfilled without the presence of maestro of Drum Sivamani. Sivamani’s skill on drum and percussion has always the extra gift of Rahman’s concert. These musical nights will be full with popular Bollywood Hindi movie songs and Tamil songs. Before coming to USA and Canada Rahman did a very exciting performance at different cities of India as the promos of this great event. The first show Rahman did with his complete troupe in Bangalore with all musicians and technicians. There are lots of efforts and money involved to prompting a show like Rahman’s 3rd Dimension World Tour. The few special parts of this performance will be having 3D effect, where audience can visualize a live performance with the help of pair of specialized glasses. We all are anxiously waiting to see this performance of A R Rahman as a part of his 3rd Dimension World Tour.
