Thookkam
vare illa unto early morning 5 o’clock…simply switched on fm radio in my mobbie.
Light music from private albums, I was so interested in listening to those
deglamorise compositions. Surprisingly, the 1st song – Thyaga annai
by Janaki, penned by Thamizhanban was actually composed by Raaja sir. They
played a couple of songs from the same anonymous private album, Naadu athai
naadu sung by ML Shrikanth based on social issues in 6/8 timing and the other
song was Kullanari kootham penned by Muthukoothan and sang by Janaki amma &
Malaysia Vasudevan, which is actually like gypsies were singing about the
culture shock in the city based on 6/8 timing, a real “Dappankuthu”
song.
No idea of
this album & when could have been released, probably mid 70’s. Still, I am
so glad that I got an opportunity to listen to such a private album by Raaja
sir. Infact, listening to this album was like a Dream before the actual sleep
*wink*always
~Raaja rules!
