Music legend AR Rahman thinks it’s finally time for Indian artists to shine on the world stage. From Coachella to the Grammys, the world is starting to notice the richness of Indian music.
Rahman, who’s won two Grammy Awards, is getting ready for his much-hyped Wonderment Tour. He called this moment a ‘great time’ for musicians and said it’s exciting to see Indian talent go global.
He pointed out how the music industry in India used to be overlooked. People didn’t take singers seriously, but things are changing fast, with more Indian artists performing globally.
Recently, Chandrika Tandon won a Grammy, and rapper Hanumankind made his Coachella debut. Rahman says this is exactly the kind of recognition he’s been dreaming of.
He believes Indian music has universal appeal and fans around the world—from Russia to Japan—are already loving it. He says the world is searching for new sounds, and Indian music fits right in.
The Wonderment Tour kicks off with a huge concert at the WAVES summit in Mumbai from May 1 to 4. Rahman calls it a celebration of all the blessings he’s had in his 30-year career. Tickets are up on the Zomato app for those who want to witness the magic live.
