Rajasaranam had indicated the song 'Karumathur Kaatukulle' from Virumandi. An outstanding song from an excellent album. I am very convinced that this particular song couldn't have been composed by anyone other than Raja. This requires complete control over rhythmic aspects, emotional aspects and folk music. My favorite from this album along with 'Nettiyile Pottu Vai'. Though a very brief song, 'Nettiyile Pottuvai' brims with energy, which can only come from these type of folk songs.

I wrote tabla by mistake in 'Inimay Nangathan' song. It is a harikatha and has only mridangam as accompaniment.

Coincidentally saw the SPB show today. The singers were murdering 'Agaya Vennilave' (Arangetra Velai). After they finished the song, SPB commented that the song was tricky since the rhythm went as chatusram (4x4) whereas the song went as tisram (3x4). He said that if you asked the singers, they would say the song was in tisram and if you asked the percussionist, they would say it is in chatusram. He also spoke about the song having a large range.

I believe kandEn engum pUmagaL Urvalam from KaaRrilE varum geetham doesn't conform to the 4/4 Adhi ThaaLam. I'm sure there are plenty, some of which are mentioned here, but I was coincidentally listening to this song as I was reading the thread.

What about the song Azhagana manjappura from Ellame Rasathan? The tala seems to be complicated.
Can somebody explain about how he divides the tala among 2 or 3 instruments?
Complicated taalams/taalakkattugal are a salient feature of Indian music. It is really not a requirement for film music, just nadai changes or even different percussion instruments are lapped up by the audience. IR shows his artistic bent in pursuing these aspects even though close to 95% or more of his audience would not even notice this (including myself :-)).
That said, IR was always aware of the so-called attractiveness of novel "rhythm arrangements". Almost all his popular songs have a different rhythm arrangement, while some of these might switch to tabls in the charanams. This aspect was taken to its zenith by Rahman, who made this aspec as an innovation/novelty in each and every single one of his songs.
(BTW, was listening to the hEy rAm party song in the car this morning, switches to indian percussion in the end from the drums)
And, an example for this is the 'poo pookkum mAsam thai mAsam':-)Quote:
