Rahman's unending legacy
Rahman's music is personal, yet universal, pushing boundaries, challenging conventions. His work is so prolific that we have a Rahman song for every mood.
Distinguishing his music even in an incomprehensible language is easy. However, loving it takes time, but once done, it only grows.
There is nothing like a bad Rahman song. Either you understand it or you don't. Such is his magic.
