AEG Concerts West and Kash Patel Present: A.R. Rahman

AEG Concerts West and Kash Patel

Since Roja hit movie screens in South India in 1992, A.R. Rahman has redefined the country's widely popular film music. Generally regarded as the finest Indian film composer of his time, Rahman produced music for dozens of widescreen releases just during his first five years in the industry. However, Rahman's widest recognition -- at least with Western audiences -- came with British director Danny Boyle's 2008 hit film Slumdog Millionaire. It won eight Academy Awards in the United States, including Best Picture and Best Director as well as two for Rahman: Best Original Score and Best Song. Two Rahman songs from the film had been nominated for Oscars, "O... Saya" and "Jai Ho," the latter of which won the statuette for Rahman. Don't miss out when A.R. Rahman brings his talent to the Agganis Arena stage this August!
