This was the best ever TV programme on ARR I have watched
till date. This was telecasted on Pongal day in 1995. The
Programme was titled A R Rahman oru Kadhiraa illay
Pudhiraa?. It was hosted by B.H. Abdul hameed.
K. Balachander, Vairamuthu, SPB etc spoke about ARR for
about 45 minutes. (Remember that this was during his early
days where he has done only Roja, Pudiya mugam, Thiruda^2,
Vandichola chinrasu, Duet, Kadhalan etc). SPB also told
that in Japan they had printed T-shirts with Chinna
Chinna Aasai as the slogan.
ARR was wearing a Green Shirt (which was very common in all
of his interviews during those days) and it was in his
Panchathan studio. For the last 15 minutes of the interview,
ARR was asked to compose something for the Sun TV viewers on
occasion of Pongal. It was the first time (and last time i
think) that ARR produced LIVE music . Couple of
Nadaswaram and Thavil people were
there in his studio and ARR gave them the swarams in verbal
and asked them to play, and he recorded them as they played
(This was done 2-3 times after some corrections) . He also
gave notations to the Thavil person which was awesome to
watch. In the end, ARR mixed it completely and played it for
the viewers which was a TREAT to watch.
I am searching for the interview (SUN TV has the rights for
it). In those days there was no Internet or Youtube to get
the interview next day. I have recorded the same in a Audio
cassette during those days. Have to search it now.
This one is a real treat for all RAHMANIACS and a must have
!!
Thanks,
Sriram

ARR gave an interview to SUN TV (i guess during the release
of Bombay) on a Pongal day. At the end of that interview,
they asked ARR to compose a musical bit for the Pongal
Occasion. Even though i heard that only one time, i was
really hooked into that great composition by ARR. I guess
the Tavil was played by a famous person (Pazhanichamy? ??).
Just hear the fusion of Nadaswaram and Tavil. Just over a
minute.. but... WOW...
I searched for that in youtube and found it Kept on
listening it today for a long long time.
I hope that this has been shared already in the group, but
i couldn't control myself from posting it again.
