Vaali once said, that Rahman told him (something like this), "Sir, naangellam eppadi ellamo music podarom, but in the villages they still hear MSV type of music only"..........

Kumudam is known for these type of games. I thought ARR handled it pretty well.

I beg to differ. His reply "My songs also been heard in villages" not a true and honest statement. Heard means - Not a one time listen.. it should be a part and parcel of the village. In that aspect, கிராமங்களின் கோட்டை எம்.எஸ்.வி, ராஜாவே! Take one orchestra randomly happening nowadays in TN's village and see how many ARR songs and Raja songs been played. Take one bus transport randomly going through TN villages and see how many ARR songs been played.

Last time I was in TN villages, I did hear Rahman songs played in tea shops. Of course, most of the songs were Raja's and MSV's. I did take a bus ride between villages in the heart of TN and most of the songs they played were new ones - D.Imman, Thaman, even Anirudh. Re: "part and parcel", Rahman's songs may not be but the point is it need not be. Even great carnatic musicians' or WC musicians' songs are unheard in many TN villages and they are definitely not "part and parcel" of villages but that doesn't mean they are irrelevant. Same with Rahman. OK, what was the interviewer trying to get from Rahman there? It was a needless question. And, what did you expect Rahman to answer? "Yes, I am a big failure as my music has been unable to penetrate into the hearts of TN villages as much as, say, a Raja or a MSV"? Nah, Thalaivar has his own die-hard audience and, believe it or not, that is quite a large group. As long as he caters to them, that is all that matters.

Vaali kavingar rsubras. konjam adhigappadiyaagave solli iruppaar Rahman songsa gramathulayum ketkadhaan seyraanga. Madurai, Theni areavila ellaam, "kathaazangkaattu vazhi" paattu illaama kalyanamo kaadhu kutho illainne sollalaam.

True. Thalaivar rangeukku edhukku Kumudam maadhiri pathirikkaikkellaam interview kudukkaraaro.

I also feel that there is so much hatred among Tamil media and many in the Tamil film industry also towards thalaivar. Even their praises seem to be like vanjappugazhchi.

Orchestras not playing ARR songs is because its very hard to reproduce the songs because of the type of sounds and layering behind them. I have listened to 'Kadhalikkum Pennin' in a local orchestra and it took me around a minute to realise that it was that song.

வேண்டாம் அஜய். நீங்க சொல்றது சரிதான். ஆனால் லேயரிங்க் பத்தி பேசி ரஹ்மான் பாடல்களில் உள்ள சிரமமான இசை கோர்வைகளை பத்தி பேசினா அத எதுக்காக சொல்றோம்னு புரிஞ்சிக்காம சில பேர் ரஹ்மான் "கவுண்டர் பாய்ண்ட்" போட்டிருக்காரா "நாடார் பாய்ண்ட்" போட்டிருக்காரா chromaticism தெரியுமான்னு பாய்ஞ்சிட்டு வந்தாலும் வருவாங்க. எதுக்கு வம்பு

அது ஒரு தேவையில்லாத கேள்வி. தோழர் சொன்ன மாதிரி ரஹ்மானுக்கான ரசிகர்கள் அப்படியேதான் இருக்கிறார்கள். யாருடைய பாடலையோ கிராமங்களில் கேட்கிறார்கள் என்பதற்காக ரஹ்மானும் அவர் இசையும் எந்த விதத்திலும் தாழ்ந்து விடப் போவதில்லை. ரோஜாவில் ஆரம்பித்து ராஞ்ச்சனா வரை என் இரவுகளை ஆக்ரமிப்பது அதிகமாக ரஹ்மான் பாடல்கள்தான். என்னை போன்று எத்தனையோ பேர் இருக்கிறார்கள் என்பதும் தெரியும். ரஹ்மான் பாடல்கள் வெளியாகும் பொழுது அவற்றின் விற்பனையும், ஒரு concert தினத்தன்று (நடைபெறுவது கிழக்கு கடற்கரை சாலையாக இருந்தாலும்) கூடும் கூட்டமுமே சாட்சி.
