Ilaiyaraja's New Albums 2016-18, News and Titbits

[rajsekar]

Wishes to our Maestro for a long, long, peaceful life and his never ending zeal for producing melodious tunes. Coincidentally it's also Ratnam's 60th birthday. Hindu has a great article titled "Eclipsed Gems from Raaja and Ratnam". As I always comment, these songs are Gold Standard. We are all lucky to keep hearing these golden nuggets because of their incredible combination.

To be honest, I like this song from Ratnam's first Tamil movie. It's the raw voice of Maestro, the organ/ violin interludes, the charming village cinematography and the carefree attitude of Murali in this song sequence. Raaja must have composed this tune as soon as Ratnam described the very first opening scene in his first Tamil adventure and the first sequence in his shooting.
