Ohhh.. Thamizh you should listen to some of his Telugu nos. where he had freaked out in rhythm Arrangements :notworthy: Will try to come up with a list soon. For the beginning try listening to 'Sanskrit Disco' movie from this movie http://dishant.com/album/Maharishi.html
Listen to other songs also, this is considered one of the best albums by Telugu Fans of Raaja.

Pls do that soon :D Actually I expected it.. in early 80's when he was at the zenith of his creativity, it wouldnt have mattered what language or what script.. at that period he would have composed classics even in his sleep :notworthy: :notworthy:

Listened to the first song again.. If my guess is correct, it shd have been composed in the first half of 80's.. arnd the timeperiod of Mouna ragam and mella thiranthadhu kadhavu. A wild guess based on the type of arrangements employed :ashamed:

Mouna Raagam - 1986
Mella thiranthadhu kadhavu - 1986
Maharshi - 1987

btw, do you really have to quote every message before you everytime you post? It would be nice to be succinct, and stick to the subject. Thanks for your interest.

RS,

Sankeernam is a name of the talam. I think it has 9 beats.

Other than the songs being good, the movie 'Sree Kanakamahalaxmi Dance Troupe' has some of the best set pieces when it comes to humor. The Godavari dialect and the amazing timing of actors like Kota Srinivasa Rao, Y Vijaya and Nirmala make this a delectable treat. I roll on the floor everytime I watch the scene where Kota comes to convince Nirmala to send her grand daughter along with his troup.

Sorry for the digression but couldn't resist it.

S.Suresh

sanskrit disco - sounds like raajathi raaja from agni natchathiram to me (?).

How could i forget
"Kannan vandhu paadugindran"
"Metti Oli"
...

"Raja raja chozhan naan"
"Poove sempoove"
"Maamanukku" (Netrikkann - i think the reverse happens here)
"Saandhu pottu oru sandhana pottu"
"polladha madhana baanam"
"Senorita" (Rhythm synching with guitar riffs in the pallavi and settles down in the charanam.. does it qualify?)
"yelai nee etti po" (Mumbai Xpress)
......
....
others, anyone?

I would like to listen to these songs :) . Reminds me of "Newyork nagaram" song, the rhythm goes at almost twice the speed of main melody.. kind of hurrying an otherwise slow song. I have observed ARR use this technique in few other songs.

---

Doesn't the rhythm slow down after the initial guitar strums? Or do you mean that itself is twice the speed of the main melody?
I love this song but i ponder about the rhythm in this song? The rhythm after the initial guitaring is anti-climactic for me but i wonder how else it could have been done.. :)

thanks for ur replies. i have not been here for long. my friend usha (tvsankar) only asked me to participate in tfmpage discussion regarding taala. so i posted here.

there are some classics in telugu and kannada by raja. most of them he has used in thamizh like 'jothe alle' from geetha , 'maata rani' from maharishi etc. as 'vizhiyile' from 100 naal and 'manjapodi thekkaiyile' respectively in thamizh.

still there r some beautiful songs which r only in telugu and kannada.

i will give u some.

there is a song 'vennelay' from skmrdt which is in a rare raga agnikopam. out of the world is the least i can say abt this song.

i have written abt the raga here.

and the song 'santoshakke' from geetha is an 'ilamai idho idho' in kannada and no new year passes without this song in karnataka.

i will post more when i find time.

and yeah, sankeernam is a syncopated talam with 5+4 beats. and nothing comes to my mind immediately with raja's music.

Interesting (3/4) 7 beat I guess on this song.
