Music Wizard AR Rahman’s daughter Khatija marks her debut as singer with a tribute album to Melody Queen Lata Mangeshkar on her birthanniversary titled
‘Kuhu Kuhu’.

Notedly, the album features five songs ‘Piya Tose Naina Laage Re’, ‘Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha’, ‘Kuhu Kuhu Bole Koyaliya’, ‘Bekas Pe Karam’ and ‘O Sajna’.

Through this release, Khatija, who belongs to the legacy of AR Rahman, also tips her humble hat to the original, legendary composers and arrangers as well as the esteemed lyricists of these classic songs – SD Burman, Madan Mohan, Adi Narayana Rao, Naushad, Salil Chowdhury, Shailendra, Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, Bharat Vyas and Shakeel Badayuni.

About ‘Kuhu Kuhu’, Khatija asserts that she began learning music in her teenage years. She had always marvelled at Lata Mangeshkar’s artistry, but when her teacher introduced her to ‘Mughal-E-Azam’ and other songs was when she started to actually sing and record herself performing her songs.

Since then, Khatija have had a beautiful journey with Lata ji’s music and she has enjoyed her moments of exploring her catalogue. ‘Kuhu Kuhu’ is her tribute to Lata ji and a way of paying her respects to a musician who changed the world as we know it.

Her positive message to her following her first single is what inspired this album.
The music video for ‘Piya Tose’ features Khatija Rahman with the Firdaus Orchestra, comprising 54 women instrumentalists from 26 nationalities. The music video was filmed at the UAE Pavilion, Expo City, Dubai.

“Kuhu Kuhu’ has also been largely possible due to Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimy, who has always been supportive of women in the arts.

The Rahmans have kept the sound of the album pure, rich and live to capture the essence of the music from the retro years. She pins hope on people find nostalgia, joy and comfort in ‘Kuhu Kuhu’.

Khatija added that Music has no cultural, national or gender barriers, and her support means a lot to her.
