#Ilaiyaraaja completing 48 years and still going strong ..wishing him many more musical years !

I can only recollect naushad saab whose filmography ran more than IR ; 65 years …

Rare gems of kishore kumar

I haven’t listened to many of them .. and its not saregama or universal/polydor label but perennial records 🤔

#ShreyaGhoshal and #RanajoyBhattachsrya deliver a simple classic melody

feels like an extension of dheeme dheeme from laapata ladies due to the similar beat

IR controversy on music rights led me to this 🧵 on song copyrights

The ℗ 'P in a circle', is referred to as the phonogram (sound recording) copyright symbol. Sound recordings for movies are generally owned by producers who then sell / license it to music labels

This song sanam mere sanam( hum) came in 1991 ahead of michael jacksons dangerous song /album .. but has some similarity to it :)

I am surprised that #ilaiyaraaja hasn’t sued anand milind yet ..
they stole at least 25 of his songs

Or they might have paid IR :)

Loved how jazz pianists (Elie Dufour in this song) are internalizing carnatic composition jagadhodarana ..follows the vocal melody and also introduces amazing chords ..
Varijashree is on fire .. enjoy a few other songs in the below link

#Illaiyaraja and Rock n Roll album on spotify ..

Celebrating 200 years of Beethoven's 9th Symphony in D minor.

IMHO, the 2nd movement must be an inspiration foe Ajay - Atul's 1st interlude in Yad Lagla (Sairat).
