A R Rahman delighted the six winning musical teams at the launch of Ooh La La, a music album by Sa Re Ga Ma Indian Limited.
The non film albums in Tamil and Telugu were released by Rahman and were received by Gautam Vasudev Menon, Andrea and Shruti Hasssan in the presence of KR Vijaylakshmi and Apurva Nagpal from the music label.
Speaking on the occasion Rahman agreed it must have been a great test of patience for the music bands to wait nearly two years for this big day. 'Hold on to your music and go back to your roots and have fun' said Rahman.
Gautam Menon told the gathered bands, 'Bands wither away due to financial and creative reasons but don't let that happen to you.' Andrea who is a singer said, 'As artists you will be bombarded by people telling you what to do but don't listen to anything and stay true to what you believe in.'
Shruti Hassan added, 'I am an upcoming musician and I know how hard it is. I hope the music stays with you all forever.'
Rahman's KM Conservatory students will be involved with the next project of the music label titled Sing Along Rhymes. Asked whether his son will sing in Tamil in the future, Rahman replied in the affirmative saying, 'Yes, he's interested in music and has the talent.'
The albums have non-film music created by the bands who have put together songs that talk of their experiences and reflect their thoughts. A short AV presentation gave an insight into the project.
