Deepan Chakravarthy is on Jaya TV every night this week doing the 'thirumbi paarkiran' program (10 to 10:30pm). Yesterday they should a clip of a song from 'Nizhal Thedum Nenjangal', which he has sung with Janaki. Lovely number.

A heartfelt thanks to Usha for introducing me to "Muthu Kaalai" songs

each one is very soothing to hear esp. Punnai Vanathu and Antha Kanji...both are vying for a spot but both equally are special.

Antha Kanji - starts with a sweet humming, SJ has such a cute teasing quality in her singing, the first interlude is so buoyant and playful then becomes a little melancholic like and then highlighted by a shrilling bell sound and the rest is then punctuated by a single bell sound....an indication of a shared harmony between lovers? Second humming with ohhohoho is also nicely highlighted by the shrilling bell sound again.

Punnai Vanathu - starts out heart wrenching almost as if for a pathos song...(one of the things I regret is my lack of knowledge of what instruments IR uses...it makes it difficult to describe the music at times...just today finally put a name to a musical instrument that I have heard often in songs of yesteryear - the vibraphone)

when SPB sings "maar meedhum thOL meedhum saaindhirukka.."

and then SJ replies much more quietly: "oh paalaarum thEnaarum paaindhirukkae..."

too sweet!!!

Nalla Kaalam and Vaazhai Illai are also uplifting solo pieces of SPB's with Manorama in the latter song.

Thanks Querida and Ushaji for highlighting one of Raja's best tracks. With SPB and SJ in it, we can't get better. Very valuable mention about vibrophone. Coincidently, yesterday I witnessed to some superb vibrophone performance in Vijay TV Super Singer 3 for 'Deiveega Paadalgal' round. Please don't miss this round if you get a chance, all are gifted melodies and singers are doing amazing job with T L Maharajan as one of the chief guest, it great to hear him sing and speak.

This wonderful melody from a the flop Malayalam film 'Pachakuthira'. What a power packed song: Revisiting it after a discussion with skr in another forum.

Which brings me to the question, where is raj_musings nowadays?
