The "haa haa" and "hmmm hmm..." humming of Manjari in Malai Nila's charanam gives a feel what I try to describe as a "islamic" style...
We have heard such hummings in one old song of L.R.Eswari with some TajMahal set in the back ground.
Anybody gets the same feeling as me ?
rajafan,
Its because of the raga used (Mayamalavagowlai). This effect can be seen in many of his MMG songs like Allah un aanaipadi, etc. The raga itself is close to Islamic chants used in the mosque.
Romba summarana album. Nothing to rave about. Above all the irritating pauses between a couple of words is making the listening painful. No free flow of instruments nor a pleasing harmony. Songs will not last long ....
Again I see the work of KR written all over, esp., in arrangements. He HAS to be kicked out meddling with IR's arrangements.

Exactly !! I forgot to tell that I too get reminded of "Allah un aanaipadi" when I hear the humming.
Also humming of LRE in "Kallellaam maanicka kallaaguma". Is it also the same raga ?
Yes ! This is what I am repeatedly describing as "broken plain tunes" (in my layman language ) which is getting dominant in IR's compositions nowadays :(Quote:

Same here. :(Quote:

rajafan,
Yes, Kallellam is also MMG. There is a beautiful song Anbe vaa in Ezhai Jadhi which also gives this feeling of Muslim kind of song and Desert safari.
crvenky,
some kind of telepathy is working between us :)
I was about to ask you about a Ezhai Jaathi song !
But not exactly the one you have mentioned.
It is "Adho andha nadhiyoram..." .
humming "Maalai nila" leads to this song in my mind some how..
listened KKP songs.
Liked couple of songs initially.
but one request to IR
Please don't use Tippu & Manjari again or often, its getting overdose.
Today there is an Ad in Tamil papers.
New movie titled "Anal Kaatru" to be directed by Balumahendra
