Give him the wand and he never ceases to wave away the magic of music, now that’s a known fact alright. But the Mozart of Madras has been flying out to Brazil for sometime now for composing music for the legendary Pele movie and the song is dead drop awesome! The video of the track “Ginga” shuffles between scenes from the film and from the music video. The word Ginga means “Rocking back and forth to the swing”, a typical mystical quality of a Brazilian. The track sways between the video of the upcoming footballer and that of Rahman’s vibrant energy that flows inward to the tune and then gets a bigger boost from Anna Beatriz midway.
Rahman has done extensive research into the album, the tunes talk enough of them. But one look at the video of the song is enough to show how much the movie has in store for an ardent Pele fan. The song jumps with varied beats, keeping the rightful bass to emphasize the Brazilian party atmosphere going recursive on Ginga Ginga. As always Rahman has gone the extra mile to research the culture of football crazy nation and that of a demi god who brought the dreams of millions alive. The end note completes with a young Pele who leaves home to win the hearts of many. The track is vibrant and full of energy, captures the essence spot on, should be even more interesting when the movie hits the theatres
