With the release of Jaane tu ya Jaane na and Ada, the maestro has come out in flying colors with the songs as well as a brand new finding to the Indian Cinema Music, Rashid Ali. It is strange at times, that Rahman even gets notified about each and single men in his group. After sharing the credits of his success to his
fellow musicians like Naveen and Shivamani, Rahman gives an opportunity to his lead guitarist Rashid Ali to sing the foot tapping track of Jaane Tu ya Jaane na and the solo duets of Ada.
Rashid Ali is was introduced by A R Rahman during his Third dimension Tour, conducted all over the globe. Rashid Ali is quite senior in A R Rahman troupe and this cool guy is born in Hyderabad. Rahman met him in London and was impressed with his immense talent in playing guitar. As per the info of Siddharth Iyer, an active member of A R R Yahoo group, he did a jazz version of Ooh Lala Laa in the Dubai concert. He has already rendered his vocals to the movie Paarthale Paravasam.
Rashid makes promising vocal gestures in his modulating tones and should be finding enough substance for the new kid Imraan in the flick. As per Amir, he felt so happy that Rahman has choosed a perfect voice for his nephew Imran. Will Rashid, be another Naresh Iyer ? Wait and see 
We in behalf of all the Rahmaniacs, wish Rashid best of Luck.

Super Post
Rasid has done a superb job in “Kabhi kabhi aditi zindagi” from Jaane tu ya Jaane na………superb
I don’t know about aditi, but Ada is fabulous.
This is my favorite song in the album.

usually Rehman’s songs takes time to like it and once you like it will haunt you throughout..but aditi song..i jus feel in love with it the minute i listened to it the first time..very simple and catchy tune and beautiful voice..good work!!
rashid ali’s first song was for rahman’s parthaale paravasam….he sang the song love check (nadhirdhina nadhirdhina) picturised on lawrence and simran….i heard him for the first time in rahman’s concert which was aired in some channel….he sang love check and ooh la la la (jazz version) frm bombay dreams album…..hes simply rocking…..and his voice really suits imran khan…..waiting to hear more of him…..
I’m big fan of A R Rahmaan, I think rahmaan’s latest song “kabhi kabhi” from jaane tu ya jaane naa is awesome, I’m crazy about this song.
Such a wonderful song it is “Kabhi kabhi Aditi, the sound of Rashid is great, the use of flute is amazing. I loved it the moment I heard it for the first time:-)
u heard dat track……its realy rahmaniac n rashid ali ’s voice has been really really great………..rahman’s singer selections r absolutely fantastic
Well Rashid Ali is a new find…no doubt…his vocal is really heart touching..He is a great find like naresh iyer by this music maestro A R Rahman…i heard for the first time in radio i rushed to internet cafe to download the song…well great song “kabhi Kabhi”….thanks to A R R for introducing such a great talent in the bollywood industry.
Kabhi kabhi…..tooo cool,simple,heart touching….no words to express…lyrics+vocals+Music really matching for this song….Rashid Ali a great find…thanks to rahmanji…pls do not hide such talents…introduce more and more…coz people needs changes always…A R R ur the one people who introduces such talents very often………..when i heard this song for the first time i could never recognise this was done by rahman…coz this is entirely different from his usual tracks….another track i liked was Nazrein Milana…great compositions….

WoW………. a r r Choose back Rashid to sing agian after long gap.. superb.. The song from Jaane Tu ya Jaane na – kabhi kabhi will be one of the best song in 2008.
I’m wishing Rashid to be success in future on behalf of ALL A R R fans..
Aslam
The song kabhi kabhi aditi is just so awesome. The fresh & young voice of rashid makes it all the more beautiful. Definitely it is one of the best compositions ever. Have been listening to it continuously & every time it makes me feel fresh & joyous from inside. It is the best feel-good song in a long time..
Kudos & credit to Rashid for such fabulous singing. The initial guitar strumming is just superb though it is short & instantly catches the listener’s attention.
And finally kudos to the genius of ARR for finding a gem as u rightly say!!!
”Kabhi Kabhi Aditi” & ”Ada” – brilliant beyond words. ARR, you rock.
Rashid has got such a different & fresh voice and it completely suits Imraan. Yet to watch Ada song…but just love both the albums & Rashid’s voice.
A.R.Reheman is my most favorate music director.Rashid has got such a different & fresh voice and it completely suits Imraan. all songs in janee tu ya janee na are so nice i would like to tell them plz continue with their good work that we will enjoy there music…….
If you have not heard the track “Kahin to Hogi” from Jane tu Jane Na, you owe it to yourself to listen to this beautiful track with Rashid Ali and Vasundhara. I get goose bumps listening to this track. Great job and another reminder on Music’s ability to bring out the best in human beings.
Hey da, I belive you created the Rashi Ali article at Last.fm.
I copied info from there to Wikipedia.
I hope you don’t mind.
I felt it was time that those not in the know came to know about this singing genius.
Those dodos at Wikipedia deleted the article as Rashid Ali apparently is not notable.
Well, let’s just hope he wins the award for Best Male Playback next year, and then we’ll show those guys.
For me A. R. Rehaman is God… and about Rashid ali.. He is wonderful..
For me A. R. Rahaman is God…hmmmmmmmmm I dont have words…….. I just Love A. R. Rahman and A. R. Rahman’s music..
Well about Rashid Ali.. I like his voice… He is amazing singer…
kabhi kabhi aditi …..gives me goose bumps ……….nostalgic about a lost last friend who used to pamper and console me the same way …….rashid is tone is simply divine …….. damn sexy ……………
Rashid you are awesome

hey Farzad,
It’s amazing man where do you get the information.superb dedication and marvellous work.I came across this blog first when I searched for ‘How Music Director compose songs’.I was enthralled to see How ARR composes song with your magnanimous provision of info on that’
keep it up.
By the by ,rashid Ali is not Hyderabadi I too think. he is from UP brought up in London accordingly
Evey one is talking about only kabhi kabhi , which s a fabuloous song , But haven`t you heard the best track from jaane tu ya jaane naa , rendered by Rashid Ali called KAHIN TO HOGI HO, who has done a very much great job , he has modulated his voice very nicely in that song .
“Kabhi kabhi Aditi….” ..wow..the song is simply awesome……after many years, for the first time i listened to the same song on end….., may be some 20 times…thank you Rehman for giving gems to the music world, you do it with every film..and why not, you are the kohinoor……….
Hi Rehman Sir, What if I want to learn playing guitar & wants to work with you is there any ways to get in touch with you.
[...] to cheer her up. The beautiful music is by the illustrious A. R. Rahman, with playback singer Rashid Ali, picturized on D’Souza, Khan, and a [...]

I love Rashid Ali’s voice, the song kabhi kabhi was superb
This picture is not the picture of Rashid Ali. He does not look like this. Please kindly change it.
benny dayal s rocking voice,Rehman sir is amazing,ghajini music is beautyful
“kise thum ” is highlated
Rashid Ali………rocking the “Jamana” with A R Rahman…………..ARR is bosssss…………
RASHID IN FARSI MEANS GIANT,AND ALI IS THE NAME OF OUR FIRST IMAN.
THIS NAME BY ITSELF CARRIES TREMENDOUS RESPONSIBILITIES.
THE FACT THAT AR RAHMAN HAS TAKEN YOU UNDER HIS WING MEANS THAT YOU MUST BE VERY TALENTED.BESIDE MUSIC PLEASE GIVE YOUR ENERGY TO YOUR FAITH.HAZRAT ALI SAYS”NO WEALTH IS MORE PROFITABLE THAN WISDOM,NO WISDOM IS AS GOOD AS TACT $ NO BELIEF IS LIKE MODESTY % ENDURANCE”"
A R Rahman ….. The god gifted man for indian music industry. Rahmanji you are very talented in music & singing. your every film songs is very beautiful. I like your songs every time. Muze bahut maza aata hain aapke songs sunaneme. Aapke gane swarg ka sukh dete hain aapko meri umra lag jaye yehi god se sada mangu sirf aapke liye
I am a gr8 fan of ARR & in diz sng both Rashid & ARR has done a fantabulous job. KEEP ROCKING ARR.
he is a scientist of music…. songs such as jai ho..kabhi kabhi..chinna chinna aasai..lucky lucky…………. many more….. really magical creations…… may be we can say ar rehman is a magician of music….!!!!!
