Emayindo Lolona - Asadhyulu - Ilayaraja

A Very rare song from a Telugu film called Asadhyulu.
Wah, what a melody is this! Captured from ETV Recently. I think it was never heard by many music lovers since years. I generally followed Raja's Telugu movies regularly since early 80s, but not sure how, I missed this film. I didn't even see this film's wallposters too :( It was released in 1993.

Gana Gandharva SPB

S.P.Balasubramanyam's performance in a felicitation ceremony performed in Vijag.



SPS says "A miracle (Ilayaraja) came to me as a harmonium player who became world famous and grown to skys above, but I am still looking at him as a Vamana (small short man) from below. Its not a wonder to say there is no music director in India who is not influenced and affected by his glory. I am talking about Ilayaraja. See how all these musicians faces glow when I say his name. He is the one who thought to the musicians that there is no result without handwork. He had brought a new trend in the music. Its a fact that after he entered into the music making, flutist, guitarists, keyboardist etc.. got lot of work and they became very sharp after working with Raja. I am going to sing a song composed by him from the film Sagara Sangamam for which both me and Raja got National award in 1983".
