Retro Rahman 2.0, its second tribute concert to music maestro A.R. Rahman. Took

place on 3rd August 2019 at StarXpo Centre, Kuala Lumpur. The night started with

pianist Anil Srinivasan, the musical direction of the stellar entertainer, and the

energetic Mani & Band ensemble (Vijay TV Airtel Super Singer) featuring Nikhil Ram

on flutes. Mano, a professional vocal modulator, hit the show out of the park with

Aathangara Marame for Kizhakku Seemaiyile, a tune that is forever embedded in the

minds of Rahman fans. In contrast, Srinivas has been honored by Maana Madurai in

Minsaara Kanavu’s hit musical direction, followed by En Uyire in Mani Ratnam’s

Uyire (Dil Se’s tamil version). Sadhana Sargam , one of the very few Indian singers

with her interpretations of her songs exceeded Rahman’s expectations. The film

Water, made by Rahman, in which she sang three songs, were her most highly

acclaimed songs: Aayo Re Sakhi , Piya Ho and Naina Neer. In the award-winning

film Indira at the age of 15, Rahman approached Harini to sing Nila Kaigirathu. She

has sung more than 2,000 songs in Tamil including the Indian Telephone Manipol

and Hello the Iruvar’s Mr Edhirkatchi. Satyaprakash’s contribution to award winning

songs, such as Nallai Allai’s film Veliyidai and Aalaporan Thamizhan to the film

Mersal, his steady growth was guaranteed and his mellifluous voice ; making waves

in the process.
