Roja's Rahman faded? NahHere is the Answer !
In one of the interviews, A.R.Rahman said that a composer who moulds his music
that suits the idiosyncrasies and tastes of the audience belonging to that
moment would be a failure in the long run but at the same time a composer who
can mould his music to suit the contemporary audience as well as satisfy the
old generations can definitely come out as a winner and will last for a long
time !
and yu know what ! This is a widely acclaimed fact !!!
Roja came in 1992, which was almost 16 years ago when there was an audience
acclimatized to the classical music and folk.The sound of Roja was
completely new...it was like a whiff of air for the audience used to those
genre and accepted Roja which created waves in the music world and established
a new horizon in composing music !
In Roja's music, Rahman explored various raagams like Des, Kapi, Yaman Kalyani
which are purely carnatic the mathruk of the song was the raaga but the
flavour is something which is unheard ever beforeActually this is the basic
mantra in analyzing Rahman's music and which demarcates his stature from the
lot !!
For example, Ilaiyaraja composes a song in Kalyani...he sticks to it throughout
the songbut Rahman is totally different... ..If he starts a song with a
raag he rarely sticks to itthe chain of raags keep on instigating in the
song...for example, Kannamochi Yennada from Kandukondain Kandukondain starts
with Sudha Dhanyasi and then flows to Nattkurinji and then deviates to Lalitha,
then again yu hear some other thingwhich is totally an absurd to do in the
books of a carnatic musician But thatz where his success liesand he stuck
to that through out his career till date...Even in Ada, I can see a song(Hawa)
which starts with Hamsadhwani and then shifts to mishra Kalyani ! One has to
accept this coz ARR had redifined the barriers in the music school !
