BOSTON based Radio Station to host IR's music soon!!
Hi all - a Boston (Massachusetts) based Radio Station, namely, Vegan Radio, would soon be hosting a special show featuring Maestro-Isaigyani Ilaiyaraaja's music, exclusively!!
After listening to few samples from HOW TO NAME IT ? and tracks from some of his film albums, the Radio Station's main host Mr. Derek Goodwin took an immediate liking to the music, but is in a dilemma as to which tracks to choose for the show and which one to leave out!
WHile playing the tracks to some rock music patrons here (to get an initial feel/feedback from them), some of the interludes such as those from "en uyire vaa" (Poothotta Kavalkaran), "meetadha oru veenai" (poonthottam) were referred to as Rennaissance jazz with a sublime oriental feel and 'Pani vizhum malarvanam' (Ninaivellam Nithya) as hip and Beatlesque!
