Music director AR Rahman is all set to release his latest, a ‘Song of Hope’.
The Oscar-winning musician made the announcement during the 52nd National Day celebrations of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
“The idea is to create a ‘Song of Hope’. This is a song to honour everyone who is selflessly working. The world needs hope today. I hope the song brings peace, understanding, and joy. My prayers to all the people who need to get healed in this hospital,” the 56-year-old musician , who has been scoring for films for the past three decades.
Rahman’s new song is a result of a collaborative effort with Indian entrepreneur Dr Shamsheer Vayalil and Abu Dhabi-based Burjeel Holdings.
The event, held at Burjeel Medical City, also saw a performance by Firdaus Orchestra, an all-women orchestra. It comprises 52 members from 29 nationalities mentored by Rahman. The event brought together patients, healthcare professionals, and esteemed dignitaries.
Titled Singing for the Children of Zayed, the event paid a homage to the teachings of the UAE’s Founding Father, Sheikh Zayed.
After a powerful rendition of the UAE National Anthem, the musicians performed a specially curated list of songs. It included the likes of Danse, Baroque Flamenco, Ouarzazate, Ecstasy of Gold and Spirit of Rangeela.
