Re: [arr] ARR needs to reduce western inflence & Blaaze

2010-05-23 Thread rblaaze

Honestly, i feel truly honoured, humbled and blessed to be a part of such an 
amazing anthem. And amongst the best, to feature my rap bit is such a 
heartwarming feeling. I finally feel a sense of belonging, and a sense of 
community... and to me, this is my Oscar! AR Rahman, God Bless... 
Peace...BlaaZe'

I dont think Blaaze is overused at all ... He is missing in Jodha akbar , Water 
, Raavan etc etc ...where any rap part is totally unnecessary !!

but i do think ...he should use/try an diff rapper ... Hard kaur or Kardinal 
official would an amazing choice i think !!

and Blaaze and Shruti hassan hadnt done any damage to the tamil anthem as far 
as i think !!! That rap part added another genre to the song !!

BlaaZe is my most favourite and he is needed...

He writes lyrics, composes music himself...

I am very sure, ARR will keep BlaaZe with him for all future projects
too. INSHALLAH Ameen.

[arr] Re: ARR needs to reduce western inflence & Blaaze

2010-05-23 Thread jayram

I do agree that the RAP words pronounced in the Tamil anthem song was quite 
confusing and misleading. 

For a long time I was trying to decipher who were the poets being refered in 
the RAP portion.

The first poet's name was very clear (Shri Kambar: his tamil version of ramayan 
has mind blowing clarity and considered a masterpiece).

The second poet's name was pronounced something like Vai Nallaalum. I promise I 
do not know any one with the name Vai Nallaal. Only after seeing the lyrics 
released somewhere in the web, I came to know that the second person was "AvVai 
Nallal" (AvVai was among one of the first women tamil poet). 

Anyway, the RAP portion's music, tune and lyrics was mind-blowing, but it was 
sad to find that the pronunciation in the RAP portion was misleading.

Jai Ho,
Jayram

Re: [arr] VTV Hindi remake

Hi Kishore,
  I read your earlier post that Gautham Menon's assistant told that there 
were no hindi VTV or Kaakha Kaakha:

"By the way, VTV HINDI REMAKE news is just a rumour. I spoke to Gautham's 
assistant recently. It is not going to happen! Kaakha Kaakha remake with John 
Abraham is also a rumour!"

  But on may 11th, harris jayaraj tweeted that he has come back from 
composing session of hindi Kaakha Kaakha(Directed by Nishikant Kamath and 
produced by Vipul Shah).
 Gautham Menon's assistant would have probably meant that Gautham won't be 
directing those films.

Is Violin a part of Carnatic Music ? YES.
Isn't it an instrument from the West ? YES.

So there you go, Why should Tamil Anthem not have all other influences ?
After all , India as a population demographically & culturally has been
absorbing & spilling so much.
Why restrict Music...

Oh my,
you really are Blaaze,
I am really really sorry if any of the group members hurt you in anyway. It 
must be unintentional.
Keep up the great work.

[arr] Video of first 'CNN Talk Asia' Interview

Does anyone have the video of CNN Talk Asia's first interview with
Rahman sir?
  I mean the interview he gave years before. Parts of that interview is
seen in this video at 0:44, 2:05 and 2:37.

AR Rahman 2007 Video (YouTube)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTTxK94F3Bo

Is the uploader a member of this group?

Re: [arr] ARR needs to reduce western inflence & Blaaze

Your reply simply shows the reason why Blaaze was there in the song. This song 
is made to reach a real wide audience and also I believe AR didn't want this 
song to be restricted to just Indian sound. Tamil is not just limited to India 
but used around the world...

I dont think Blaaze is overused at all ... He is missing in Jodha akbar , Water 
, Raavan etc etc ...where any rap part is totally unnecessary !!


but i do think ...he should use/try an diff rapper ... Hard kaur or Kardinal 
official would an amazing choice i think !!


and Blaaze and Shruti hassan hadnt done any damage to the tamil anthem as far 
as i think !!! That rap part added another genre to the song !!

I think ARR needs to use less of blaaze from here on, bcos he has been over

Re: [arr] VTV Hindi remake

Hi Kishore,
   I read your earlier post saying that there were no hindi VTV or Kaakha 
Kaakha as per the information given by Gautham Menon's assistant:

"By the way, VTV HINDI REMAKE news is just a rumour. I spoke to Gautham's 
assistant recently. It is not going to happen! Kaakha Kaakha remake with John 
Abraham is also a rumour!"

   But on may 11th, harris jayaraj tweeted that he has come back from the 
composing session of hindi Kaakha Kaakha(Directed by Nishikant Kamath and 
produced by Vipul Shah).
 Gautham Menon's assistant would have probably meant that Gautham won't be 
directing those films.

Good to see you here, Blaaze.

I am a big fan of Gangsta Blues. The unplugged version of Omana Penne is
also awesome.

Gops, is there any way, we can get a higher quality version of The Banyan Theme?

Available version on Youtube is a TV rip & really, it doesn't do any justice to 
this haunting composition... we really need a HQ version of this. Like just 
last week they released Semmozhi directly through AR's official website, which 
was HQ 320kbps mp3.

Is it possible?

Yes, it is quiet good, but I'm talking about HQ audio version and audio in that 
vid is 22050Hz Mono 64kbps! Which is no way good enough for any AR composition!

  Gops, is there any way, we can get a higher quality version of The Banyan 
Theme?

Available version on Youtube is a TV rip & really, it doesn't do any justice to 
this haunting composition. .. we really need a HQ version of this. Like just

was HQ 320kbps mp3.

*Ritu Beri to design Rahman's wardrobe for Jai Ho concert*
Indo-Asian News Service
Sunday, May 23, 2010 (New Delhi)
[image: SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend]
Print
| A+A-

Well-known designer Ritu Beri has been roped in to style the wardrobe for
musician A.R. Rahman and his entire troupe for the Jai Ho concert. Beri
finds this job challenging and says it is like "doing five couture shows,
all in one".

"The clothes are a theatrical experience that will blend new technologies
with traditional elegance. There are over 300 clothes, an amalgamation of
youthful modernity and elaborate Indian dress age," Beri said in a
statement.

"While designing for this tour it was important to keep intact the heritage
and traditions of India and add a new modernity to the presentation."

The show - A.R. Rahman Jai Ho Concert: The Journey Home - starts June 11 in
New York at the Nassau Coliseum and will travel to 20 major cities worldwide
including Los Angeles, Washington, Dallas and London.

"This is like doing five couture shows, all in one. It's been huge and very
challenging. We are presenting a New Age India to the world. Working with a
composer of Rahman's calibre has been very exciting and prestigious. I have
enjoyed creating and designing the costumes not just for Rahman but the
other singers and dancers as well," she said.

The world tour is being produced by Deepak Gattani and Rapport Productions.

[arr] Veturi – an epitome of literature

 Veturi – an epitome of literatureIndiaGlitz [Sunday, May 23, 2010]

Not among us today, one of the greatest poets and lyricists ever of Andhra
Pradesh, Veturi Sundarama Murthy Sastry passed away following a cardiac
arrest on 22nd May 2010. He was admitted to the Care Hospital in Hyderbad
where he breathed his last. Veturi is survived by his wife and three sons.
IndiaGlitz conveys sincere condolences to his family.

On 29th January 1936, Veturi Sundarama Murthy was born in a Brahmin family.
After his education, Veturi worked as a journalist in leading Telugu
magazines for 18 years before entering the film scenario to pen songs.  His
first break was in K.Vishwanath’s ‘O Seetha Katha’ writing a ‘Harikatha’ in
the form of ‘Bharatha Naari Charithamu…’

Veturi was a river of words. Ever flowing with beautiful words, Veturi
penned more than twelve thousand songs. Known for his love for the Telugu
language, Veturi was a true Telugu patriot. Having won a National Award for
his song ‘Raalipoye Puvva Neeku’ in ‘Maathrudevo Bhava’, he declined to
accept the award as Telugu was not recognized as a classical and ancient
language.

A popular quote says ‘A Man is known by the people he has around’. With a
whole lot of well wishers around, Veturi was not just a man of people he had
but ‘A Man of Words’. Effortlessly penning both melodious songs as well as
mass commercial hits, Veturi connected well with the Telugu audience. Songs
filled with pathos or songs so lively, Vetturi made every word count. ‘Abba
Nee Theeyani Dabba’ from ‘Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari’ starring
Chiranjeevi and Sri Devi,  a flirty duet between the lead pair, received a
lot of appreciation as the song dealt the love for two in a sensible yet
sensuous way.

Not just the lyricist he was, Veturi was also a poet who wrote beautiful
poems on various topics especially Telugu. His love for the language is
extraordinary and never compromised in the quality of language. His command
over Telugu literature needs no description for his words described what he
was.

*Veturi offered his services for the last time for Mani Ratnam’s ‘Villain’
with music composed by A R Rahman.*

A song is not just for a moment. It conveys what it preceded and what it
succeeds. Songs penned by Veturi had the same essential quality. For such a
great man, the littlest thing that could be offered is a tribute in English.
‘Words are eternal’ quoted by an anonymous person. ‘Veturi is eternal’
always with his songs that will never fade just like the glory of Telugu.

A R R told his view at the function itself.lets not lock Tamil let the
language and its culture spread world wide...this is possible only be A
R R i know how my kannadiga friends are loving Tamil songs of A R R
...and the reason is how A R R simplify the language in songs, and blazee
has played a very significant role in making non Tamil people to like Tamil
songseven the younger generation, my students in 10th standard keep
humming blazee's rap quite often.

I feel A R R and blazee are rocking ! from baba to Tamil anthem i have liked
all their works.
