Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

(Addressed to Raaja)
a) How do you view your evolution as a composer?
b) How much of this is a result of progression/alteration in your musical ideologies and how much of it is driven by industry trends?
c) How do you strike a balance between these two?

2) Can you share with us your interest in these genres and some of the artists who have inspired you?

3) As a senior musician and composer who has lived through many years of live music and real playing, do you think a revival can be brought about in this? What is it that could be done to make the common audience and music industry embrace and celebrate live/real music playing again?
