Absolutely and amazingly ridiculous!

Brings to my mind a conversation from the Kabhi Kabhi remix version from Avar Enakke Sontham.
Film music troupe - iyya ungalukku enna srudhi?
Bhagavathar: Yellam en vidhi!

Apologies for posting a download link, but thiraipaadal and Raaga dont have the full version in them. Raaja runs riot in this song. First a Thyagaraja krithi in classic rock format with electric guitars and acoustic drums. And then Kabhi Kabhi in pakka carnatic style with sangadhis and swarams! The dialogs and lyrical twists are hilarious!
TMS and IR bring down the house, advanced detonated demolition!

I hold Arr, Yuvan and Harris culpable of the offence of degradation in the melodic, carnatic content in today’s Tamil songs for, these over paid MDs wield enormous clout in the industry and they have done precious little in accommodating one of our most important cultural identities in their milieu. Just a stray madhuvanthi in “Kanda naaL mudhalai” will not absolve Yuvan and when was the last time ARR had such satisfying carnatic songs? “kaNNamoochiyenada” or “margazhi thingaL allava”?

Thumburu, please check PM.

RS, Thanks for the information.

"without aware of this I had asked lot of my source to check the cd in most of the shops in chennai and PONARSKR (ponnar Sankar) keys were cursing me like anything as I had disturbed them lot in the past 4 days .. :)"

Jaiganes,

Good points. But if you see the quantity of IR output, these kind of incidences form very less percentage. Having said that, point is accepted.

Baroque,

What is Gamaka Prayogam? Is there any major difference between compositions using Gamaka prayogam and others. Interested to learn, if you can elaborate.

Each raga in ICM is unique because of gamakas... ie variation of pitch of a note, its oscillations between notes.
each raga has rules, standards on these gamakas applied on a specific notes.

more you listen to ICM aalapanas, RTPs, (instrumental and vocal) you start picking up the raga bhaavam.

I am also a regular listener to katcheries, listen to rtps, slogams, bajans etc... without theory knowledge, Prasad.

The point is, Rahman indeed gives ICM- ragas to this generation.

From Roja , Iruvar days to Swades, Jodha Akbar etc...now.

In fact from ARR, GVP to Vishal Barathwaj... every fellow is delivering ICM whenever they can for this generation.

Shri.ilayaraja's music , his style of usage fancies some of your mood, just go & enjoy.

Coming soon...PONNAR SHANKAR-SHRI.ILAYARAJA.

vinatha.

Baroque: ARR is torchbearer of ICM
IR fans: yengalukku pandham ellam venam. Betramax light dhaan venum

J/K Vinatha. Many of us do know ARR’s usage of classical music (Water being one of my favs, Piya ho and Bangri marori two absolute gems).
The grouse of some (‘classical purists’) fans here, the way I understand, is that the popular contemporary MDs should, in addition to what they’re doing already, use more of classical music to try and increase its reach among today’s youth.
Indeed, even as recent as last year, did we get to listen to beautiful numbers from VB like Bhadi dhere and Ab muje koi in Ishqya (and there’s Narthagi that I’m yet to listen, but I see is getting good WOM here in the hub). Just that we need more of this. Peace.

Amidst all this, Shankar 4 naal munnala kelambi ponaar, innum aala kaanum. Sigh!

They will do.
idho... Shri.IR podapporaaru paarunga in PS.


Vinatha.(tera mera pyaar amar, phir kyon mujhako lagata hai dar)

ah.. good to see mentions about Vishal Bharadwaj too here! This is what I have been saying folks. There are composers beyond ARR/Yuvan too, to talk about.:-)
I like the work of Vishal & i often wonder why IR fans never bring in other composers like him, for comparisons. Not just ARR/Yuvan.

But anyway, lets not digress more! a good news - about Happi - is certainly welcome. More updates needed.

That's is the upbeat spirit.
oh... yeah.
Hip hip Hooray Vishal Barathwaj!
