Maestro Ilaiyaraja New Albums 2011 - Hello Jaihind / Sri Rama Rajyam

[raj_musing]

Raja's fantastic Malayalam...You just fall in love with it...)Among the audience were music composer "M jayachandran",Director Shaji etc...They all were happy to witness the reunion of these great stalwarts.....

M jayachandran considers Ilayaraja as the Greatest composer of this age and expressed his surpise on His visit,as Raja rarely makes appearence in public! He feels that Ilayaraja's love and respect for KJY perhaps could be the only reason that he attended this function!!

He also pointed out that the "Sangeetha Sanddhya" had a magical effect as these 3 greats held their hands together before the program....
The controversy definitely is laid to rest..KJY even sang "Adiyusha Sandhya" later much to the delight of Raja!

The other tamil songs KJY sang were
Daivam thantha Veedu
Vishwanathan Velei venam
Kannei Kalaimane...............

Gaayam first part had music by Sree..great to know that atlast one big film with a saleable masala star has came in search of the maestro.

Heard the CD of Sathyan's new film is out in MalluLand. When will it come to Bangalore, if at all? Waiting to hear the songs in the internet land

[rajaalltheway]

Katha Thudarunnu...mmm..donno what to write.Hariharan and Chitra starts with "aaro paadunnu",melodious to the core but too
much "mudi mudi" influence.Next comes the patented Sathayan-Raja routine "mazha megha chelin pooram"..though chocolate is food of gods u cannot have it thrice a day.Finally Karthik croons the energetic "Kizhakkummala Kammalitta" with aplomp but cringy pronounciations,the opening of the song reminded me of vintage ARR song "mamboove" from Yodha.Overall satisfactory..just the usual Sathyan Anthikkad sounds nothing more.A word about the lyrics..they are meaningless,senseless tunekillers.Gireesh Punthencheri is sorely missed.I feel the only poet who can do justice to Ayyas music is Yusuf Ali Kecheri..donno where he is these days..

Listened to Kadha Thudarunnu Songs.

1) Sound Quality is Awesome
2) There are karaoke versions of the songs which is a delight to hear cause there is a river of rhythms flowing in the instrumentals.

That is just the background information

1) Aaro Paadum is thalaivar at his jazzy flowing best. It is injustice if i were to describe this song. Its one of those where you have to hear to believe it.

2) Mazhamega Chelin Puram is rocking with rhythms embodied with fun all over it. Again very hard to describe it.

3) Kizhakkumula is probably the most rustic and folkish of the three songs. But what energy. The instrumentation just catches you off the hook.

Sorry that i cant describe but i am in a state of utter disbelief of what i just heard. Especially Aaro Paadum. And there i was thinking why thalaivar never repeats his current jazz magic in malayalam given its scope of melodies.
