Mumbai: To mark U2’s first-ever visit to India, Island Records has announced the release of a new track titled ‘Ahimsa’ from U2 and legendary composer A.R. Rahman.
Credited to U2 on digital storefronts the single is now available to stream on JioSaavn.

The bringing of the Ahimsa track on JioSaavn echoes the streaming platform’s commitment to present the best and latest world music to fans across India and Indian diaspora.

ultimately generations. Great music always carries a real message. To make great music, move people, and leave a legacy of hope is a living dream for JioSaavn which it is carrying forward with such unique initiatives.
