fineleg Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 I'm sorry' date=' I posted that in the title. I thought it would give a better idea about the thread since I for one had no idea about this guy. I admit I had no idea he had songs in other languages. Didnt think it would be such a big deal.[/quote'] No problem. Unfortunately, Ilayaraja is not so known in North India - He is as much a maestro as AR Rahman. But in those days, there was never an awareness of south indian things in north. Nowadays, things have changed, and people in the north recognize ARR - also because ARR has done many hindi songs.
Holysmoke Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I first heard this as some rap song later i searched for the original and found this awesome video:hysterical: PucI_AZLaA0 :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: The guy with glasses sitting on the harmonium.. reminds me of my roomate from Chennai. :haha:
Ram Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 This song is a super mix of brilliant chords and nippy western beats; C_IO4YCme6Q Raja is probably one of the first music directors to effectively use the 'seconds' voice-over technique (Same singer simultaneously singing the song again, only this time in a higher pitch). i9UF2qUPOeI
graphic23 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 This isn't a film song but I love this one: EwGeHvOCxfQ Note, by the way, that Ilayaraja himself wrote the lyrics in Telugu as well (or so I've heard).
nikred Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 nikred, ^ The above is a great song - the rap came much later, the original is classy. Ofcourse the video is cra.p - but the music is great. Oh trust me I searched for the original cos i liked the tune. Though i don't understand anything I liked the song but the video was icing on the cake.:icflove:
Holysmoke Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Can someone tell me the Indian song in "The Elephunk Theme" (posted above-fake vid)
graphic23 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Can someone tell me the Indian song in "The Elephunk Theme" (posted above-fake vid) The song is actually from Sri Raghavendra, a movie which starred Rajnikanth in his 100th film. The song was composed by Ilayaraja and its called 'Unakkum Enakkum Anandam'. Couldn't find a youtube video of the song but here: http://www.musicplug.in/songs.php?movieid=2006

zubinpepsi Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 No problem. Unfortunately, Ilayaraja is not so known in North India - He is as much a maestro as AR Rahman. But in those days, there was never an awareness of south indian things in north. Nowadays, things have changed, and people in the north recognize ARR - also because ARR has done many hindi songs. Ilayaraja is like sachin.... n ARR is like viru.. so much knowledge .. if u listen to him, u ll realise how great this man in terms of music..hes versatile.. Illayaraja is the king..and will b so.. ARR can be popular the whole of India or throughout the world.. but Illayaraja is the baap..
