Re: [arr] Varaaga Nadhikarai

[Vithur]

Sangamam songs are out of the world. I think its a project which AR did for
expressing his passion for Classical Folk Music, and this also proved to the
world that he can do Classical Folk Music.

My favourites are

1. Mazhai Thulai
2. Varaha Nadigarrai

and all the songs.

The BGMs also rock.

Thanks Chord, and do write more about his Tamil AlbumsI love these posts

I had shared this earlier here...

When i was in chennai back in 2005, i met an american lady that came down to
train us "Global communication skills".
She had a bunch of ARR songs and said that "Varaga nadhikara Oram" is her
morning wake up tune that she gets so fresh in the morning waking up to that
song...

Hearing this, i gave her a long list of AR albums and address to music world
in spencer plaza :-)

There are lots of brilliant songs that AR has never used in concerts.
but I think Yuhin Chala was a perfect one for Concerts.
You have 2 male singers singing , lots of Guitar, Bass.
High energy song.. It would have been wonderful if this song was used in any of 
his concerts.
Just my opinion.

Re: [arr] Varaaga Nadhikarai

[Anil Nair]

This is one album more than any other which makes me wish that AR does more
of carnatic classical based compositions in the future.
Each song, each note in this album is par excellence.

My personal favorites would be both Varaaga and Mazhai Thuli (MSV,
Hariharan)the beats as you said are truly infectious and make for an
absolute joyride ...

Re: [arr] Tasveer Promo

[Aaditya(Addy) *COOL*]

This is not by A.R.Rahman that's for surei dont know why in the promos they 
are not mentioning who is the MD ? Atleast confusion will be reduced in many 
people's mind. In Wikipedia someone has added A.R.Rahman as MD so that 
has added more confusion in people's mind. Refer only the original website of 
Rahman, other sources are just fake. Its not only with Tasveer even Ashutosh 
Gowriker's next "What's your Rashee?" has included Rahman has MD but in 
reality he is not. TASVEER has been composed by PRITAM.

[rivjot]

Nope, its not Rahman. Cant you distinguish between Bohemia and 'your' ARR's 
composition? lol (jk)

8x10's music is by Bohemia, Salim Sulaiman & Neeraj Sridhar.

Did anyone manage to here the Congress Theme song based on "Jai Hon".  Wasn't

Rahman has always had a good sense of humor, intelligent most of the times,
with people close to him. I hope he shows that often to the public. .

Re: [arr] Re: Rahman sir shud do sumthing..

I agree with Thulasi. They should just give credits. I wouldn't really think
the guys are selling those soaps because of Rahman's music. As long as it is
credited it is fine.

[arr] Varaaga Nadhikarai

[Chord]

I have been really concentrating more on Rahman's Tamil works of late and have 
been so enjoying revisiting soundtracks I haven't heard in a while.

I need to express my feelings about this song from Sangamam, which really 
impresses both intellectually and emotionally.  The way Shankar M has sung this 
song is absolutely divine.  The infectious dholak rhythm with the Mast Qalandar 
like melody (not at all copied) makes this song my very favorite from Sangamam. 
 

I love it when the second interlude adds this incredibly infectious ghungru 
rhythm, very similar in pattern to the Taal Se Taal mila, Hai Na, Chale Chalo 
Mitwa ghungru tracks, taken away, then back again for the final portion of the 
song.  Just pure magic.  

I truly with Shankar M would sing for ARR again.

Heard that ARR said that Mani's next would be kind of similar to the style of 
Sangamam (folk, semi classical), so we can really look forward to that.  

Am curious to know what everyone's favorite song from Sangamam is.  

[arr] Re: Mangal pandey(main Vari vari & Rasiya)

[Jahanzeb Farooq]

very rightly said. Rasiya is absolutely awesome. one of my all time favorites. 
what a wonderful melody and great vocals by Richa. it alone makes MP a great 
album.

though i did not like Vari vari. Kavita has always been my favorite but here 
there is too much shrillness in her voice.

Re: [arr] Bose

Hey Anish,

I respect your opinions.  We don't have to agree about our favorites.  Rahman's 
collection of albums are as varied as the colors and hues on a rainbow.  We 
will each have our favorite color and hue or shade and that's fine.  It's what 
makes life excitingto have different viewpoints and opinions.  I say, let's 
just agree to disagree!  It's not worth warring over different opinions and 
nobody is going to succeed in changing someone's opinions.  Good to hear from 
you!

Re: [arr] Bose

You are entitiled to your opinion. But as music lovers, we suggest  
that give time to this album.let it grow on you.
Yes this is not an album that you like on the first go and that is why  
it is not so successful commercially, but it is a masterpiece!!

Re: [arr] Remembering the songs from Taj Mahal

[Arvind Ar]

"Oru Poyyavadhu" is from Jodi and not Tajmahal...!!!

 
Coming to the songs of Tajmahal... I agree with u completelyEach one of 
them are precious Gems...!!! It has got nearly 8 songs...!!  
 
Kulirudhu Kulirudhu ---  Unni Krishnan and Swarnalatha..>!!! A Blissful Cool 
Ice Melody after Pudhu vellai Mazhai..!!
 
Adi Manjakelange/ Variyaadi Variyaadi  Sung by a host of ARR's harmony 
singers are such a short n sweet songs..!!
 
Karisal Tharasil --- Chitra and MG Sreekumar's best song!!! A speciality here 
is ARR has blended 3 songs into one...!!! Nobody else dare to dream to do such 
things..
 
Tajmahal --- Title Track..!!!  Both Sreenivas and Sujatha tracks are like 
Anthems in this album
 
Sengaathi -- A rustic Folk singer T.K.Kala has rendered a heart wrenching patho 
song!! An equally loveable track!!!
 
Eachi Elamicchhhi is having one of  the ARR's career best instrumentation with 
haunting rendition!!!
 
Tirupaachhi Aruvaale is one of the most Josh giving songs of ARR!! 
 
A complete entertainer with all the moods embedded..!!! Precious jewel from ARR 
but sadly went unnoticed..!!  :-(

[arr] A.R. Rahman features in Akon's music video 'Beautiful'

[Vithur]

A.R. Rahman features in Akon's music video 'Beautiful' [image: Click here to
add this article to My
Clips]

By Bollywood Hungama News Network, March 16, 2009 - 16:36 IST [image: A R
Rahman] Double Oscar winner A.R.Rahman is known to be a very shy and
introvert kind of a person. Hence, it took us by surprise when we saw Rahman
feature in a video of American hip-hop singer Akon.

The video called '*Beautiful*' features Rahman for just a couple of seconds.
The Music Maestro is seen posing with a bevy of models and smiling in his
trademark coy way. The video also features American pop singer Colby O'Donis
and Canadian hip hop artist Kardinal Offishall

After the double Oscar triumph, one must say Rahman is indeed making his
presence felt on the international music arena slowly and steadily.

 Using a bass guitar in this genre was the most innovative idea!!

Its the first time i guess, when some one has thought about using a Bass Guitar 
in a Mujra!

It makes the song peppy..and the composition is a classic!!!

Loved the way how ARR has used the voice of Reena Bhardwaj as chorus..Kavitha 
krishnamurthy is at her best too...

 The other song which is a gem in this album is "Rasiya"... It 
transports me to a different world! I wonder if anyone else in this universe 
can sing the same song as Richa Sharma sang!!!
I just love the attitude of this song..
Sarangi notes are divine...sets a perfect stage for the stanza to start...and 
stanza doesnt dissapoint either!!!

hi guys.. 



This is just an observation i made to myself.. i dont know how many of you have 
done this...



Whenever i read a review of songs of Rahman, or any article about rahman 
songs.. i suddenly open my itunes and start listening to that song while 
reading about it.. ( in case my itunes is not open, which is rare... hehe ) 



It happened with me all times.. whenever a soundtract comes and people review 
it song by song.. i just open itunes and listen or just automatically switch to 
that song if i am listening some other songs... 



Did any of you guys is having this syndrome.. ? hehe.. well 



Well i am a rahmaniac.. well does it mean i am become totally rahmaniac.. ? :) 
beyond the point of no return.. :) if yes.. then i like it.

[arr] Rashid Ali's lucky break

[Vithur]

*Rashid Ali's lucky break*

Rashid Ali, of 'Aditi' fame, wasn't even supposed to sing the song that's
made him a big star today.

In an interview to a local website, he said that he was only supposed to
play guitar on the song. He said, "I was initially just supposed to play the
guitar portions of the song. Then Rahman asked me to record the vocals and I
just sang it. It all got done in one evening in Chennai couple of years
back. I didn't even hear the end product for a long while."

Ali says that Rahman's decision to get him to sing the song was quite
instant. He says, "I've known A.R. Rahman for the past 7 years now. I've
done a few concerts with him. I was in India when A.R. thought why not get
Rashid to sing this song. Rahman is a guy who makes decisions on impulse and
I must add that he has an amazing gut feel about things.” Rashid Ali can now
be heard on the soundtracks of Blue and Jaane Kahan Se Aayee Hai.

Re: [arr] Bose

[diansrk]

Well, ARR is unique, no one can compare to him. If you think that Doli Saja Ke 
Rakhna is a disaster, how can you explain my astonishment on him at the first 
time I listened to Ta Ram Pum from Doli Saja Ke Rakhna? Once I listened to 
that, my heart said, this guy (the composer) is very much different... here's 
ARR, he is different. And about One 2 Ka 4, the two are gorgeous, Sona Nahin Na 
Sahih and Khamoshiya Gunguna Ne Lagi... and also Mangal Pandey, it is 
awesome... and with greatest singers also. But people can have their opinion. 
So, AR is the greatest...

Khwaja song - my impression (Re: [arr] Let's keep in mind the attitudes and expo

[Jahanzeb Farooq]

sorry but many points to disagree with.

> khwaja song might be holding additional value for muslims due to its 
> religious connotations, and for general fans it might have got some high 
> weightage due to the anecdotes of ARR having composed it already and then AG 
> using it in the film.


first i would also like to add that though my father did not find it special 
(in one hearing), it was/is the absolute favorite of my whole family, including 
my mother, wife and younger siblings. so i must say there is something in it 
which most of the people are liking. i can agree that part of the reason may be 
that "muslim connection" you mentioned, but only PART of the reason not THE 
reason. and about "weightage due to ARR composition", i don't agree as like my 
family most of the people i have seen loving it don't have much to do with 
music or ARR.


> Firstly, the song has some 1:20 initial alaaps that are quire boring to say 
> and kill the entire beauty of song that comes after that. 


for me those initial parts are absolute integral to the song, the very beauty 
of the song. also i truly love when he keeps singing "khawaja jee, kawaja 
jee..." in the beginning and also at the end of song.


> Those "ya khwaja ji, moinuddin, gareeb nawaz" are without any lyrical or 
> music value". So, I think the start itself is badly thought up.


same as above.


> But then the song starts with lovely music BUT, BUT BUT poor lyrics. 


absolutely agree with you. lyrics are one of the biggest culprits in this case 
(but only in some places, not all) other being the pronunciation (sadly by our 
man).

i have to disagree big time. i found them very meaningful, devotional and 
effective. there is certain beauty in these simple but very meaningful words.


> pronunciations are also not clear. that bebaso ki taqdeer tu ne hai sanwari, 
> has bebaso and tu ne pronounced so pooorly that one has to strain to hear it

rightly said. and especially "taqdeer" sounds like "takhti" (slate) or taqdi. 
ARR should have emphasized more on pronunciation.


> And then "Tere darbaar mein khwaza noor ko mainne dekha" has noor pronounced 
> so poorly by our man himself


i fully agree.

i don't agree. i must say these lines carry much weight and importance. this is 
just a way to express how much respected he is. and btw how we learn to respect 
someone in the first place? i think we learn it by knowing the respected person 
(what he did that he should be respected) as well as by seeing other respected 
persons respecting that person.

> and then "tu hai  khwaja - rutaba hai pyara" chahne se tujhko  mustafa ko

i fully agree here. this was the most difficult part. it was not clear to me 
what he says until i read the lyrics on booklet.


> and lastly that "hai mere peer ka sadqa, tera daman hai thama," tali hai bala 
> hamari, chhaya hai khumar tera


especially "tali har bala" was never clear to me, never, until i read the 
lyrics. boss pronounced it very poorly. 


> I don't get what exactly is the concept. No rhyming, no poetry, just some 
> words have got hammerred in. 


can only agree about the lyrics and pronunciation. besides that for me rhyming 
is perfect and singing by ARR is full of soul and spirituality.


> I would say that ARR's voice is also not as sweet enough as he is famed for, 
> there is a rare shrillness, a hollow in ARR's voice


i think his voice suited very well to the song and in fact to all of songs he 
has sing. i don't feel any shrillness in his voice.

rightly said.

sorry but i lost you here. did not get how it sounds as "personal" or "poor 
man's music".

[arr] Gautham Menon Starts another film?????

[Sath Murthy]

GM seems to be starting new projects every week. Now he started another film 
with his Manager Karthik as hero and he is gonna start the telugu version of 
VTV sometime soon. Whats happening with him? So many projects at the same 
time?? He always used to do one film at a time till now.

http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/45600.html

I guess that ARR will not be part of those future projects of GM as he is doing 
more quickies now a days.

[arr] 100 Best of Rahman - Compilation rules ! Please add !

[Dinesh Vaidya]

>From all the Rahman songs I have, I regularly prepare a Play-List / 
>compilation of BEST of RAHMAN for my car MP3 player. Normally one VCD stores 
>around 110 to 120 songs assuming a 640MB storage capacity. 

I do the play-lists based on following rule, Those who are interested to expand 
the thread, can add a few practical parameters to refine the final selection of 
songs.

Rules >
1. Minimum one song from each movie has to be included > Fiza has only one 
song, but a good one, so no harm in taking it in each compilation.
2. Since ROJA was ARR's first movie and within that "Dil Hai Chotaa Sa" ( or 
Chinna Chinna Aasai - in Tamil ) was the first song to be heard in that movie, 
hence this HAS to be part of every compilation ! 
3. Movies first released in Tamil should get preference in Tamil compilation ( 
Jeans, Minsar Kannavu, Kadhalan etc ). After selecting original scores in that 
language, then only the dubbed versions can be included next( Desam, Taalam  
etc ). 
4. Instrumental versions can be made into independent play-list so don't add 
these into vocal play-list. Same goes for Non-Film albums.
5. Max number of songs per play-list = 100 !
6. For the time being, restricted to Hindi and Tamil only !

So RAHMANIACS ! Make your play list and we will decide how and where to upload 
all lists ( I will need AMITH / GOMTESH / GOPAL to help in this matter ).

But, do they use these BGM's with their own music changes/inputs or is it a

anyways some of my favorites:

-Telephone dhun (Hindustani), Kavita Krishnamurthy
-Lagaan theme (Lagaan), Anuradha Sriram 
-Satrangi (Dil se), Kavita Krishnamurthy
-Guzarish (Ghajini), Sonu Nigam

RE: [arr] ARR Trivandrum Concert shifted to Calicut

[Rajith Ramnivas]

I was having doubt on date, because the concert manager Mr. Deepak himself says 
that Kerala Concert is scheduled on May to Indian Express, but venue change is 
a big surprise.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: It is ‘Jai Ho... Kozhikode’. The mother of all live shows, 
A.R. Rahman Live, the maestro’s first live programme after winning double 
Oscars at the 81st Academy awards, will now be staged not at the 
Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium here as was earlier planned, but at the 
Corporation Stadium in Kozhikode.

 The programme has also been postponed from April 14 to May 3. Since April 14 
was just two days prior to the polling day in the State, there was a 
realisation that it would have been difficult for the police to provide 
adequate security cover for the country’s most popular musician. The show is 
organised by Keraleeyam - Global Kerala Initiative to raise funds for 
HIV-affected children.

 For Thiruvananthapuram, however, the euphoria has been punctured.

 Expectations had reached a crescendo when a two-member team in charge of the 
technical and production aspects of the Rahman show landed in the city in the 
middle of February on a one-day recce mission.

 The team visited the Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium, the main stage where Rahman 
was supposed to perform live. They had inspected the venue, the ground and the 
natural acoustics and were generally satisfied.

 It is the capacity of the Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium that has now blasted 
the capital city’s chances to host the show. Its total capacity, gallery and 
the chairs included, is not more than 35,000. In the case of the Corporation 
Stadium in Kozhikode, it is nearly 70,000. What’s more, the Corporation Stadium 
is fully covered and has efficient flood lights.

 To make up for the low capacity of Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium, the 
organisers had even thought of arranging live digital projection of the show in 
two other stadiums in the city. Even the combined capacity, it is said, could 
not have matched that of Kozhikode.

 But the crucial factor that led to the choice of Kozhikode over 
Thiruvananthapuram was the former’s proximity to Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. If 
the show is held in Kozhikode, the audience can have a mix of people from most 
of the South Indian states. Kozhikode is easily accessible to those in big 
cities like Coimbatore, Madurai, Bangalore and Mangalore.

 A.R. Rahman, it is learnt, wants his show to be accessible to the largest 
number of people. The show is said to be the Madras Mozart’s only show in the 
country before the start of his second world tour. This means he will not be 
able to perform in any of the Indian cities for at least five years.

 The team that had visited the city in February had given an inkling of the 
kind of show A.R. Rahman Live would be. ``We don’t know what Rahman has in 
mind, this is the first show after the Oscars. He would definitely want to give 
this show a completely new feel, something that has never been experienced 
before. He might even have a unique theme for the show. It’s Rahman, anything 
is possible,’’ Shailesh, who was in charge of production, said.

 ``Normally, a Rahman show will have ten big singers and 40-odd musicians. 
However, for this show, we feel it might be bigger. We will get a clear idea 
after we meet the man himself,’’ he added.

[arr] Re: Mangal pandey(main Vari vari & Rasiya)

[Arun]

Very true on Rasiya. Richa Sharma's vocals are so intoxicating and Rahman 
wisely lets her lead with minimal orchestration.

[arr] Ghajini Extras - 2nd Disc DVD

[rivjot]

Finally stores here got Ghajini DVD and first thing I watched were extras as I 
had already seen the movie twice in theater. 

There is making of Guzarish (w/ old lyrics), Behka and Kaise Mujhe at Rahman's 
studio. A must watch experience! Loved it :D 

waiting for someone to rip BGM now (since it was not released with the dvd 
alas! my expectations to see background score cds one day)...

[arr] Re: Mangal pandey(main Vari vari & Rasiya)

[Neetika Raina]

 Using a bass guitar in this genre was the most innovative idea!!

Its the first time i guess, when some one has thought about using a Bass Guitar 
in a Mujra!

It makes the song peppy..and the composition is a classic!!!

Loved the way how ARR has used the voice of Reena Bhardwaj as chorus..Kavitha 
krishnamurthy is at her best too...

 The other song which is a gem in this album is "Rasiya"... It 
transports me to a different world! I wonder if anyone else in this universe 
can sing the same song as Richa Sharma sang!!!
I just love the attitude of this song..
Sarangi notes are divine...sets a perfect stage for the stanza to start...and 
stanza doesnt dissapoint either!!!
