New Anthem 'Jamal Al Etihad' by A. R. Rahman Celebrates Eid Al Etihad

As the UAE approaches its 54th National Day this December 2nd, renowned Indian composer A. R. Rahman has unveiled a new tribute song titled ‘Jamal Al Etihad’. The track made its debut during the Sheikh Zayed Festival at Layali Al Wathba Theatre in Abu Dhabi.  Rahman described the song as a “therapy of smile” — a simple, joyful homage to the UAE and the values that bring its residents together. He said the piece aims to resonate widely across the country’s diverse population: workers, entrepreneurs, expatriates, and nationals alike. ‘Jamal Al Etihad’ is among the rare English-language songs Rahman has composed, intended to reach both local and global listeners. The track was crafted to reflect the nation’s fast pace, collaborative spirit, and optimism.
