maniac Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Bharat Ratna is still kinda far but absolutely deserves the Dada Saheb Phalke award before that
vvvslaxman Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Actually i am practicing this now.. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEcOvJ3yyIg]Mouna Raagam BGM - Mouna Raagam - Piano Tutorial - YouTube[/ame]
Nova Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 This is the first time I am hearing about ilayaraja. :hmmm:
vvvslaxman Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 This is the first time I am hearing about ilayaraja. :hmmm: not surprising if you have not heard much of 80s south indian music.
vvvslaxman Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Dude, freaking beautiful track, almost rachmaninoffesque in the tempo shifts. reminded me a bit of this. :icflove: ARR was playing keyboard for ilayaraja for very brief period IIRC.
Prakat Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 But' date=' why did he settle for recycled tunes from IRaja in the two movies? Would have loved to hear some fresh tracks in Hindi by the maestro.[/quote'] Don't know about that. Maybe they were Balki's requests because these were songs he had heard and loved years back and somehow wanted to incorporate them into his film? :dontknow:
The Dark Horse Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 ARR was playing keyboard for ilayaraja for very brief period IIRC. :agree: Comparing the two would be like the Sachin-Bradman comparison. That said both have been great in their time :regular_smile: More of his gems: my fav: vy-DZpEEOg4 o4GtbzcGWjk&feature=fvst In 2003, according to a BBC international poll, people from 155 countries voted his composition "Rakkamma Kaiya Thattu" from the 1991 film Thalapathi fourth in the world's top 10 most popular songs of all time.(the below song) YL3BO3hg48I Its sad that people go gaga over something like kolaveri but don't know much about this man.:((
sarcastic Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 :two_thumbs_up:A thread about the great Ilayaraja and I still did not see the following video song posted. This song is not only musically directed by him but also sung by him. Listening to this song gives an amazing feeling too :icflove:. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eFjBl_r4jE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eFjBl_r4jE[/ame] Yes I do think that he deserves Bharat Ratna if music directors be given one!:hatsoff:
vvvslaxman Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 YL3BO3hg48I Its sad that people go gaga over something like kolaveri but don't know much about this man.:(( This song was actually used in hindi later [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kvzaLMynGg]Tu Tu Tu Tara - Bol Radha Bol (1992) - YouTube[/ame]
Prakat Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 ARR was playing keyboard for ilayaraja for very brief period IIRC. Ok! So he apprenticed under Ilayaraja? Cool!
Zelig Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 ARR and 'Drums' Sivamani worked for IR. ARR arranged the composition for the Punnagai Mannan theme. Off topic, dance master Sundaram f'ked up the theme with his choreo
Stuge Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Who is he ? never heard of him before . between ICF sifarish won't work to get him Bharat Ratna .Infact ICF jinxed Sachin BR too :hysterical:
Lord Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah' date=' dude. Great guy and great boss, absolute gem. He gave me my first big budget TV commercial. :proud:[/quote'] which one?
