Ahead of his sufi music concert in #Chennai, composer AR Rahman discusses what drew him to qawwalis, his mother’s death and the Oscars.
At Wings of Love, scheduled for March 19, 2023, at Nehru Indoor Stadium, Chennai, the composer will perform a “Sufi concert”. “There will be no ‘Muqqabula’ or ‘Chaiya Chaiya’, but “there will be numbers like ‘Kun Faya Kun’,” he informs. “I wanted to do a bigger concert but that couldn’t happen. right now. However, I realised there are many fans for numbers like ‘Kun Faya Kun’ and ‘Khwaja Mere Khwaja’, and thus we have this.” This concert is to raise awareness and in aid of the ‘Save Lightman’ fund, to recognise lightmen working in various film industries.
