Raja's Gems - the latest one you heard...Part 3

[app_engine]

adi poonguyilE poonguyilE from araNmaNaikkiLi on repeat...

I have nothing nice to say about the singers (Mediocre M & MM)

The folk melody, OTOH, in so endearing and enjoyable inspite of the paridhAba singing. Lovely!

I've noted another interesting thing with this song - the terrific second interlude :WOW:

It didn't take me even a second to identify how this had been borrowed by the 'thEnmAvin kombaththu' MDs (who've already plagiarized 'Asai adhikam vachchu' song of maRupadiyum). The most fav song from that album is 'karuththa peNNE' and it has portion of this second interlude used ditto



One reason for me to like that song was the "IR feel" it has...now I know there's more than just influence

Nice, "radio-only-hit" song from that disaster called karumbu vil.

OTOH, the tribal number, 'meen kodiththEril manmadha rAjan ooRRRvalam pOkinRAn' was extremely popular everywhere! (both Jency & KJY versions played everywhere, 'ooRRRvalam' was Jency's)

app - and that MD ousepacchan has the gall to spread canards oN IR (he was the one who fanned the ONV Kurup issue during Pazhassi, wasnt he?) and trying to use his "Malayaliness" to throw mud on IR, right?

Ingrate feller!

Thanks to PR, I'm looping on Naatupura Paatu. Never cared to listen to this album fully before. And boy, what joy have I've missed all these years!
This is organic/folk/earthy music at its very best!

KV,

If you haven't heard it, I would also recommend you to hear 'Periya Marudhu'. Amazing songs all of them. Very rustic and very satisfactory.

that MD ousepacchan

While me too share the same irritation w.r.t pazhassi rAjA incident, the thEnmAvin kombaththu crime was not by him.

It was a rettaiyar called Berny-Ignatius

As I was listening to therkE veesum (from the 90s songs thread), my mind, for some strange reason popped up this song - kavidhai paadu kuyilE kuyilE (Thendrale ennai thodu).
It's probably the contrast in the styles of the songs, I imagine. While the former is all subtle, beneath-the-cloak experimentation, the latter's a total freakout with look-at-me percussion (which IMO is quite rare for Raaja), some crazy bass lines and wind sections, and lastly an exuberant SPB!
