Paartha Niyabagam illayoo ..!




A grand song of the year 1964 !
This song Paartha Nyaabagam… is haunting and melodious from the super dooper hit movie puthiya paravai ! I have tried this P.Suseela’s song after a long period and I applied some different reverb effects for this song.

Vaan megam...


The songs and background music in this movie are undoubtedly one of Ilayaraja`s best works. All the songs are melodious and linger around for a long time in our head. The theme music, in particular, is simply beautiful. It is best experienced than expressed.
A classic song from a classic movie ! I don’t know, how many times i watched that movie for kamal’s acting, raja’s score and chitra’s songs. Hope you all sail in the same boat !

Hari Ohm Hari !


-->

-->
A Robust voice, which has rendered innumerable songs in English and other languages can be none other's than Usha Uthup. She has a unique place in the musical firmament today. She has elevated night club singing imparting it a sense of dignity. She creates a certain magic on stage and with the audience right from the word go. She makes them jive to her renditions - be they English, Hindi or in other languages.

Actually I was very new to this song and this song resembles few tamil songs” Kaamanukku Kaman”, “Unnai Azhaithathu pen”. I have enjoyed singing this kind of peppy numbers.

ShreeHarshan Nambiar asked me to do this song a month back and he also sent me track. Thanks a ton, Harshan for the lovely track .

I have included my own prelude with this rendition. And I tried my level best to do justice to this song. Feel free to comment . Looking forward !

Ethetho Ennam valarthen


One of the great composition of Ilayaraja, in the raaga "pahadi", which is all time favt song of mine.Its a real challenge to render this song.I just love that.K.S.Chitra elegantly sang this song and this was the turning point in her career.This is the song, which
I heard more than 100 times at a streach, during my school days, in my new tape recorder.This song motivated me much to sang film music other than classic during that time.

The track is very bad and I couldn't find a better track. Somewhat managed to do the mixing.Plz bear with the track and mixing.Like to learn more voice control which is a very big challenge for me to render this type of song.

Plz listen to it and give me your feedback !
