#IRnonTabla : Relay tweets collection thread

[app_engine]

A propaganda has been going on for years on the net that IR was all tablA.

We know it is untrue and have tried to address it via forum posts / blogs etc over the years.

This is just another attempt to bust that myth.

I'm starting a new "campaign" in twitter via "relay-tweets" using the following methodology :

1. I'll tweet with the "#IRnonTabla" hashtag one song name, preferably with a youtube link

2. The song should not use Tabla, obviously (and we have 100's of them)

3. I will also @ to a particular "known-to-be-responsible" IRF that tweet, e.g. @maestrosworld (who is our V_Sji)

4. It is the responsibility of that twitter to post a "relay-tweet", i.e. ANOTHER non-tablA IR song, with youtube or similar link and the hashtag "#IRnonTabla".

5. It is also the responsiblity of that twitter to @ to ANOTHER "known-to-be-responsible" IRF 
e.g. @_Drunkenmunk , who will then continue the relay.

6. The idea is to use AS MANY TWEETERS as possible and continue to make the circle bigger. (So that the cycle does not come back to me very soon )

7. My additional respo is to collect the tweets into this thread as a repository (or for those who are not in twitter, to view).

Game?

I started the relay-tweet thingy, my first one is 'paruvamE' of nenjaththaik kiLLAdhE :

sleeping ppl can be waken up - blind people can never see light..

[baroque]

How about Agninatchathiram album!
Oru poongavanam.... piano rolls with strings backdrop with flute melancholy for Janumma's solo!



Mirudangam Ilayaraja's Shanmugapriya KADHAL KASAIKKUDHAIYAA...

[baroque]

Mega mirudanga jadhi of POOVE ILAYA POOVE...
dazzling composition!

[baroque]

There are compositions like Kadhal mayakkam.... has only mirudangam!

Indha minminikku kannil..... Bass guitar and Bongos are used as rhythm!
2nd interlude has vocal counterpoint of Janu's humming with Bass guitar, bongos too!



Gatam and morsing usage in niththam niththam nelli choru...

How about Vanaja Girija's compositions!
Bass guitar with synthetic beats of Munnam seidha....
I think the Suddha dhanyasi composition Unnai edhir paarthen.... has WCM strings back drop with drums!



 Mega music hit of Early Ilayaraja!
Piano Ilayaraja's cool composition from Janumma with awesome strings!
Azhagu Aayiram.. Ullasa Paravaigal

8. oru naaL unnOdu oru naaL - uravaadum nenjam

We can list songs without tabla year by year which should be a good exercise.

2. manjaL araikkum pOthu - aaLukkoru aasai

15. kaNNan enna sonnaan - saainthaadamma saainthaadu (not sure, don't have good quality, please confirm)

16. unmaikkE pirappedhththEn - thunai iruppaaL meenaakshi

Note: there are many songs where he switches from tabla to other percussion like mridangam and vice versa. sugamO aayiram from thunai iruppaaL meenaakshi is one prime example. I have not counted those songs.

Good idea, V_S!
