If you have not heard about Coke Studio yet, then please do yourself a BIG favour and check out the channel on youtube. Zariya is a fantastic song that embodies what Rahman has mastered in the recent years - collaboration with artists and bringing world music to India. The combination of Jordanian singing and Buddhist chants seems like an odd choice at the beginning, but give it a listen and tell me if you haven't come out of this experience with a different opinion. In addition to being a great listen, the song is also a powerhouse of talent. Apart from the obvious stardom of Rahman and Sivamani on drums, you have the phenomenal Mohini Dey on bass guitar (with a small solo in between), two incredible lead singers and an enthusiastic and talented group of chorus singers. The song also has a pretty good video of the recording that captures the infectious energy of the group
