Pray for me brother - A R Rahman's album

I saw the new video album of A R Rahman titled "Pray for me brother" on B4U music today. I was very impressed with what I heard and saw. The music, message and visuals truly had an international appeal. The video also immediately reminded me of Rahman's previous project with Bharat Bala (Vandemataram) and was curious to know more about the song. So as soon as I was done watching the video, I immediately scurried back to my computer to research about this video album. And not surprisingly found that this video is another Bharat Bala production and is towards fighting global poverty. A great effort for a very noble cause.

Anyways, I see this video as also another step by A R Rahman towards greater international fame. I hope with this video he will get more opportunities to work in good international projects and hopefully a chance to win a Oscar for himself someday through those projects.

Anything to crib about the video -- hmm, wish it had some obvious Indian elements to it ;) desi me :)

BTW, for folks looking to watch the video - search for it on Youtube.com, you will get lucky!!! :)

Well here is an another twist to it. Instead of downloading that MP3 I suggest you better buy the music online. I guess the money you spend on my buying this Rehman's piece goes in for charity. So neither have I downloaded the song nor have I have watched it online. This is what the music CD cover shows for this Album !!
