No one disputed the genius of Ilaiya raja and it is also true that Rahman also has it in his genes. he has only taken music to the next stage keeping in mind the changing tastes thanks to MTV and globalization of music. If we keep Rahman at a distance from Ragas may be it should be for his songs in kandukonden kandukonden, or sangamam or even for strangulation of the raga Ahir bairav in vidukathaiya in Muthu!!<br />I think Charulatha is doing the right thing and her effort is not to say who is best, but how creative are composers from GR to AR in interpreting the ragas.<br /><br />Since I am not talking of ragas but enjoying them would prefer to hear all music that has melody and rhythm.gemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266725252010358155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777443793346061609.post-90720275459139338912013-01-12T10:51:08.204-08:002013-01-12T10:51:08.204-08:00Brilliant usage of Mayamalavagowla reflects in Raj...Brilliant usage of Mayamalavagowla reflects in Raja Sirs song "Poova eduth vacha" from ORU MALAI-AMMAN KOIL KIZHAKALEY ...<br /><br />www.youtube.com/watch?v=flqZEB5fwQ8unnikuttante lokamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01324003897518429523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777443793346061609.post-82057923013483279522012-11-05T05:09:09.146-08:002012-11-05T05:09:09.146-08:00please let me know who is the composer of the MM v...please let me know who is the composer of the MM varnam Sri rajarajeshwari in adi tala,,,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777443793346061609.post-35785963064721142362011-11-19T18:16:32.566-08:002011-11-19T18:16:32.566-08:00I have been buying stuff from iTunes and other sit...I have been buying stuff from iTunes and other sites for sometime and spending lot of money.
