Global recognition for IR's music.......

[venkkiram]

ஜெயமோகன் இணையத்தளத்தில் "இசை:ஒரு கடிதம்" என்ற தலைப்பிலான இசை பற்றிய கடிதக் கட்டுரையை தவறாமல் படியுங்கள்.

A question to all IR fans,

Isn't fame and recognition when someone gets noticed?

If IR was truly a person worth global recognition wouldn't it have come onto him?

Why disgrace IR by begging for 'Global recognition'?

What a sad state!

Movies,

It is just the question of being worth of Global recognition. Leave alone IR, do you think none of the earlier film composers are not worth Global recognition?

Only when talent meets opportunity victory will follow. All the earlier composers(MSV,KVM,IR, RD Burman, Naushad etc) had required talent, but did not get opportunity. ARR had both and hence got the recognition.

ARR peak coincides with India's peak thereby providing various opportunities. Good for him. God bless him

I meant

It is just not the question of being worth of Global recognition.

May be the cheapo so called musicians crave for titles and all kind of awards.


IR already said it on a stage show to GA back in the 80s that "people give the awards and the same people will take it away". He already said it on record that he's also not interested in titles and awards.

So please don't undermine his stature with such topic.

I think this thread doesnt have much significance now. We can still make it better, by discussing about how Ilaiyaraaja's music can have better reach and audience (which thereby translates into everything else). All the other talk isnt necessary now, since the core topic is to be understood from the title of the thread.

I second this .... come on guys lets think about spreading raja's music in constructive ways...

Does anybody knows about formalities for starting internet radio station? I think it will be good promo for raaja if we can start a iradio exclusively for his music .....

There are internet radio stations exclusively for individual artists in the west... We can shoot out mails asking people to try his music... how about this idea?

Seriously there are musicians who used net as a medium to gain popularity....and our guy has got such a wealth to share... i am sure at least we can create a global community of his fans by implementing this idea!!!
