Balleilakka—A.R. Rahman/arr. Ethan Sperry.
From celebrated Indian composer A.R. Rahman,
who has composed over 100 film scores in the

winning song Jai Ho, comes a piece written for
the Tamil film "Sivaji." Tamil is one of the native
languages of India dating back thousands of years.
The text of this piece is a tongue-twister relating
the composer's memories of his homeland in
increasingly faster syllabic patterns. Exciting!
