இசை உள்வாங்கலை ஒட்டி உரையாடல் சென்றுகொண்டிருப்பதால்...



ஒரு அன்பர் கொஞ்ச நாளைக்கு முன்னாடி இந்தப் பாடலை குறிப்பிட்டு "ராக்கம்மா கையத் தட்டு" பாடலின் ஆரம்ப சந்தமும் இதிலிருந்து பெறப்பட்டிருக்கலாம் என பகிர்ந்திருந்தார். மேதைகள் நீங்க தான் சொல்லணும். ஒருவேளை உண்மையாக இருக்கும் பட்சத்தில் இதுவும் ராஜாவின் அற்புதமான உள்வாங்களில் ஒன்றாக அமையப்பெறும் என நினைக்கிறேன்.

Ofcourse, I agree he is the most original MD, but in this particular instance it is a lift even if the tune is altered.

Grand funk road-american band was released in 1973 while Chaitanya in 1991. Tape loops were beginning to slowly emerge in late 60's and in early 90's emerged digital loops.

So I find it bit hard to digest that IR 'accidentally' used a loop in 1991 which eerily was similar or the same loop was used by Grand funk road for their song in 1973. On top of this, it is clear that it isn't a loop, it has percussions, guitar and other complex arrangement which are evident in IR's song as well.

Before other HCIRF's pounce on, I would like to point that I am a proud HCIRF as well, and just put forth my views as a lay person.

@venkkiram,
As IR used to say, maybe he changed the 'meter' of the song for rhythm? I feel it isn't quite the right fit. Anyways, that hindi song was just great!! Enjoyed related songs in youtube from that song. Thanks,

Song Interlude Rehearsal for Bangalore Concert




Maestro's BG score behind the scenes.

[Senareb]

When Rajini’s close friend and Tollywood star Mohan Babu was in town recently for the re-recording of his daughter’s Gundello Godhari, the Superstar met maestro Ilayaraja. Mohan Babu and Gundello Godhari’s producer Lakshmi Manchu were on their way to the re-recording studio when Rajini also joined them because he wanted to meet the maestro.

The legends recalled their heydays together and it was nostalgic moment for them. It may be mentioned here that Gundello Godhari is being dubbed in Tamil under the title Marendhen Maniththen.

Thats a joke..if such a basic tak tak is a lift god help other musicians...

This is just pure resemblence of a base rhythm which is nothing for a man who has done miraculous music..

Man I never thought that the interludes have this meaning.
How many millions of such thoughts have gone behind songs.
He is one man to do all this stuff and it is going to take generations to decipher all this.

Good that atleast he is opening up now..

நன்றி வல்லவரே. இதே போல் சங்கதிகள் நம்மிடம் பகிர்ந்து கொள்ள அவரிடத்தில் நிறைய இருக்கின்றது, ஆயுளுக்கும் அவர் சொல்லணும் , நாம் கேட்கணும். . தொடர்ந்து நடக்குமா? இதில் அவர் சொன்ன விதம் அழகு. அதிலும் அந்த நதியோரம் மேட்டர் சூப்பர்.

bala,

Exactly. I am looking forward to more such videos. I have my own theories about some songs and the way they are structured. Will be nice to see if I have got what he was thinking right
