He also clearly tells us how Raja experimented with the shenai and gave a new direction to that instrument as far as film music was concerned. Do head over here and read the interview. It is in Tamil. (Those who don't know Tamil can listen to the musical clips in this site. I assure you, it is well worth you time.)

Thank you Sureshji, for the link!

One rarest kind of interviews ever to appear in Thamizh media!

Thanks app_ji :)

Really a wonderful article. The team has done a great job in including some lovely clips. I have requested that SuKa and Solvanam do such interviews with the other gifted instrumentalists of Raja's team like Sada, Puru, Viji Manuel et al. (All these names are mentioned by SuKa). Hope they do it in the near future.
