Music Director Raveendran Passed Away

[nkv]

Friends,
Let me share this moment of acute grief for malayalam music lovers. Raveendran master, easily one of the best MDs ever in Malayalam died today in Chennai. He was suffering from throat cancer.

In tamil, he has given music to 'Rasikan Oru Rasikai' (Paadi Azhaithen, Ezhisai Geethame), 'Lakshmi Vanthachu' etc.

He nearly was to MFM, what Ilayaraja is to TFM. He was one single MD in malayalam, on whose name alone, the cassettes/CDs used to sell like hot cakes.

His Highness Abdulla(Pramadavanam), Bharatham(Ramakatha), Thenum Vayambum, Kamaladalam, Nandanam, Kanmadam, Ayal Kathayezhuthukayanu, Sukhamo Devi, Kaliyil Alpam Karyam etc etc..
many mallu movies were blessed with his divine movies..

He was one unique MD who effortlessly merged the essence of carnatic music with the light music.

Let us pray for his soul..

Nikhil.
