Rahman thanks Berklee students for rendition of ‘Kun Faya Kun’
Said it was a moving version of his song
Music composer A.R. Rahman has thanked students of Berklee College of Music for their rendition of his song Kun Faya Kun.
The 49-year-old Oscar-winning music director had composed the song for Imtiaz Ali’s film Rockstar.
“Dear Berklee students, thank you for that very very moving rendition of Kun Faya Kun. May God bless you all,” Rahman tweeted along with the link of the video of performance, which took place at Symphony Hall in Boston.
The video features students from various nationalities, dressed in traditional Indian red and white garb, singing their version of the Sufi song originally sung by Rahman and Mohit Chauhan.
This isn’t the group’s first attempt at Hindi music adaptation — they’ve sung Rahman’s other hits, too, including Dil se and Ye Jo Des Hai Tera.
