A 20 hour session on a trot!

Our community achieved this insane feat to celebrate A.R. Rahman's birthday.

The community at Lishash loves sessions around artists — from discovering their albums or their discography and our team had always wondered why. Despite there being genres to dive into and themes to traverse, why is the most popular session type users choose to create one’s where they’re listening only to the music by one artist? It took us a while to understand, but the best way to explain and illustrate this is the session that took place on A.R Rahman’s birthday. It was a session that lasted for ~17 hours, where folks listened to A. R Rahman’s discography.

The beauty of this was in realizing that it’s very rare to find friends in our daily lives who love an artist as much as we do. The community finds, in each other, people that are excited about similar artists, music and themes. And the app gives them a place to explore, express and bond over this shared passion.

The breadth of conversation that music that moves us brings, is phenomenal. It ranges from the role each track/album plays in ones lives, and can go on to the themes they covered, too.

Rahman’s music and this session is also testimony to how passion and love for music is pan-lingual and enjoying it has little to do with comprehension of the language, rather the music, the emotion and the people itself!
