ARTIST: Prasanna
GIG: Rhythms of India: Prasanna Plays A.R. Rahman at Rubin Museum
He’s known as “the Mozart of Madras” and “the musical storm” – the Indian producer and songwriter A.R. Rahman is one of the world’s best-selling recording artists, thanks in large part to his prolific work as a composer for South Asia’s huge film industry, Bollywood. You’ve heard his music in Slumdog Millionaire and The Hundred Foot Journey, but that’s just the tiny tip of the iceberg. Tonight, you can absorb yourself in the maestro's eclectic work with the equally eclectic guitarist Prasanna, one of Rahman’s long-time collaborators.
