Slumdog Millionare took home 8 golden statuettes last night, including the coveted Best Picture and Best Director awards. But let’s note that Slumdog’s score composer, A.R. Rahman, also took home two awards for Best Original Score and Best Original Song. In his audible translation of this rags-to-riches romance, Rahman combines the romanticism of a fingerpicked guitar, Bollywood rythms, and modern electronica. It is easy to see why A.R. Rahman’s music is wildly popular across the globe.
