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".
Great rendering(as usual) by the MaarkkaNdeya of Indian Film music..
ReplyDeleteI love the telugu lyrics..In Tamizh, none of the songs conveyed the original meanings(same is the case with 'Swathi Muthyam)..
yes raj, particularly 'thakida thadhimi' was pathetic. kamal will be doing the abhinayam for 'alarmel manga' and in thamizh it will be something else.
ReplyDeleteRaj sir! it always happens in the dubbing versions. Same case with many Tamil songs of Raja dubbed into Telugu.
ReplyDeleteboth IR and SPB are the true legends . we are really lucky to be in this gen to listen to wonderful music.
ReplyDeleteThis song of SPB will make anyone shed tears and thanx dilip for the nice video.
