Raja Fusion

Kanavu Ondru Thoonudhey From Oru Odai Nadhiaagirathu (1983)



In today's world of music, where EDM has taken a clean sweep over anything called musical, the above song, even after another couple of decades, will still be considered as an advanced composition. It looks Funk with a stylized Disco. The drum beats are replaced on and off with tabla. Baroque violin, initially, duets with the vocal and then, with a cello. Janaki’s voice is haunting (as always), yet, in a completely distinct modulation.

The music transcript, the arrangement and the orchestra blend into a fusion within a fusion where Hindustani meets Revathi.

Beyond the universe of music world, maybe, this Genre is known as Gnanam.
