Katrina woos children

Katrina’s been wooing the older lot ever since she stepped into B-Town. This time, the pretty lady, chose to entice the children instead.

She came together with AR Rahman, the musical maestro, to launch Rhymeskool, a nursery rhyme album for little children, under the label of Sa Re Ga Ma.  The music has been composed by the students of Rahman’s school, The KM Music Conservatory, under his guidance. The album contains reinvented nursery rhymes. Katrina takes them through the various songs and attempts to make learning easier for them.

But, the question is what motivated the lady to lend her voice to such a venture. “Nursery rhymes are the very first things children learn and I would like to help them take their first steps in life. Besides, I love children and there is no better way to connect with them than through music.”

Ask her what she is going to do with the CDs and she smiles, “I’m going to donate them to Mercy Home Orphanage in Madurai. My mum’s closely associated with them.” It’s no wonder that she feels passionate about the cause as well. And then she coyly adds, “Yes, I will play these CDs for my own kids.”

We ask her about her favourite nursery rhyme and her eyes light up. “It was twinkle, twinkle little star. Now that there is a rap version, my favourite nursery rhyme has gotten even better,” she signs off.
