திருச்சியில் ராசாவின் மேடை

மீண்டும் மீண்டும் பாடுபவற்றை விட்டு விட்டு வேறு பாடுங்கள் ஐயா!

வியக்கத்தக்க பாடல்களே ஆயிரக்கணக்கில் உள்ளபோது ஒவ்வொரு மேடையிலும் ஏன் அதே பாடல்களைப் பாட வேண்டும்?

மற்றவர்களுக்குத்தான் வேறு வழியில்லை. இங்கே அளவு கடந்து இருந்தும் ஏன் சில மட்டுமே மேடையில்?

என் எண்ணத்தில் சில:

1. பட்டுக்கன்னம் தொட்டுக்கொள்ள
2. ஜிங்கிடி ஜிங்கிடி எனக்கு
3. ஒரு கிளியின் தனிமையிலே சிறு கிளியின் உறவு
4. சங்கீத மேகம் தேன் சிந்தும் நேரம்
5. பாடவா உன் பாடலை என் வாழ்விலே ஓர் பொன்வேளை
6. செண்பகமே செண்பகமே
7. தென்பாண்டித்தமிழே என் சிங்காரக்குயிலே
8. மேகம் கொட்டட்டும் ஆட்டம் உண்டு
9. பூ மலர்ந்திட நடமிடும் பூங்குயிலே
10. மனிதா மனிதா இனி உன் விழிகள்
11. இது ஒரு பொன்மாலைப்பொழுது
12. ஏதோ நினைவுகள் கனவுகள் மனதிலே மலருதே
13. தேவனின் கோயில் மூடிய நேரம்
14. மீண்டும் மீண்டும் வா
15. என்னுயிரே வா என்னுயிரே என்னருகே வா என்னுயிரே
16. விழியிலே மலர்ந்தது உயிரிலே கலந்தது
17. அடியே மனம் நில்லுன்னா நிக்காதடி
18. காலம் மாறலாம் நம் காதல் மாறுமா
19. பேரு வச்சாலும் வைக்காமப்போனாலும்
20. பொம்முக்குட்டி அம்மாவுக்கு ஆராரோ
21. கட்டவண்டி கட்டவண்டி
22. என்னைத்தொட்டு அள்ளிக்கொண்ட மன்னவனின் பேரும் என்னடி
23. வச்ச பார்வை தீராதடி
24. கண்டேன் எங்கும் பூமகள் நாட்டியம்
25. ராமன் ஆண்டாலும் ராவணன் ஆண்டாலும்
26. பூங்காற்றே இங்கே வந்து வாழ்த்து
27. அமுதே தமிழே அழகிய மொழியே
28. நீ பாதி நான் பாதி கண்ணே
29. சந்தைக்கு வந்த கிளி சாடை சொல்லிப்பேசுதடி
30. என்றென்றும் ஆனந்தமே இன்பங்கள் ஆயிரமே
31. அண்ணாத்தே ஆடுறார்
32. பூவிழி வாசலில் யாரடி வந்தது கிளியே கிளியே
33. ஒரே நாள் உனை நான் நிலாவில் பார்த்தது
34. ஆறு அதும் ஆழமில்ல
35. ஆசையில பாத்தி காட்டி நாத்து ஒன்னு நட்டு வைக்க வா பூவாயி
36. அரைச்ச சந்தனம் மணக்கும் குங்குமம்
37. வாசலிலே பூசணிப்பூ
38. ஒரே முறை உன் தரிசனம்
39. காதலுக்கு ராஜா சிரிக்கும் ரோஜா
40. ஒன்னைப்பாத்த நேரம் ஒரு பாட்டெடுத்துப் பாடத்தோணும்
41. அழகு ஆயிரம் உலகமுழுவதும்
42. ரோஜாப்பூ ஆடி வந்தது
43. வான் மீதிலே அதிகாலை நேர ராகம்
44. பூந்தளிராட பொன்மலர் சூட
45. தென்மதுரை வைகை நதி தினம் பாடும் தமிழ்ப்பாட்டு
46. ராதா அழைக்கிறாள்
47. பூந்தென்றல் காற்றே வா
48. செவ்வரளித்தோட்டத்தில ஒன்ன நெனச்சே
49. சின்னப்பொண்ணு சேலை
50. மொட்ட மாடி மொட்ட மாடி

யாருக்காச்சும் உண்மையிலேயே ஆர்வம் இருந்தா இது போன்று இன்னும் நூற்றுக்கணக்கில் பாடல்கள் சொல்ல முடியும்,

இவையெல்லாம் மேடையில் இசைத்தால் அரங்கம் கண்டிப்பாக ஆடும் பாட்டுக்கள்.

மட்டுமல்ல, ஹங்கேரிக்காரர்களுக்கும் போதுமான அளவு வேலை கொடுக்கும் தன்மை உள்ளவை தான்.

எளிய பாடல்கள் ஒன்றுமல்ல!

  • Show started at around 6:30 PM and ended at around 11:00 PM.  Due to security reasons permission was not given beyond 11:00 PM.  The concert ended abruptly.  Few songs got missed out
  • IR spoke in Kannada thru out the show (Though he was stumbling for the right word at times).  He was present thru out the show without taking even 5 minutes break
  • For a change, Janani Janani was replaced by Amma Endhu (A song from his Kannada devotional album)
  • After Hey Ram song, IR informed that the complete orchestration was done by Karthik Raja
  • After the first Kannada song from the film Maathu Tappadha Maga, he conveyed that this was his first Kannada film
  • Few Kannada Lyricists with whom he had worked were called on the stage and he had a live interaction
  • For Vegam Vegam, he revealed how he had originally composed the song.  As it was difficult to sing the lyrics in that pattern, he had to tweak the tune accordingly
  • After Nanna Jeeva Neenu, IR was little annoyed with SPB and Surmukhi (They made some acting stuff).  He reminded them that this is not TV Show
  • Jailalli Hutti Song - This song was written by IR himself.  There were 3 lyricists and none of them could come out with proper lyrics immediately.  It seems IR started singing the tune with his own lyrics and finally he had dictated the complete lyrics.  Lyricist Kalyan wrote down what IR dictated and this was how IR wrote lyrics for a Kannada song...!
  • For Halli Lavani - IR asked SPB to explain the highlight of the song.  The chorus and main singer portion will blend beautifully after each line in this song
  • Keledhe Nimageega - IR explained what lyricist Chi. Udayashankar had written originally for the pallavi portion and IR requested him to change the starting line.  The original line was used in the saranam portion.  The chorus portion of this song is a beauty...
  • 3 Note Song - The 3 lyricists present in the show had written the lyrics the previous day
  • When the song Rum Bhum Bhum started, IR left the stage.  An indication that the show is going to end.  As the concert was hosted near the Airport, a high security zone, I think there was no permission to continue the show after 11:00 PM.  Some of the songs which was heard during rehearsal was missing in the show due to this time constraint
  • Sound Quality was sub-standard.  I think it is high time IR takes a call on doing shows in open grounds.  His orchestra certainly requires indoor auditoriums and good quality sound system
  • For such a big ground, only 4 TV screens were there
  • Karnataka Chief Minister had turned up for the show.  There was 10 minutes interruption for his speech (We lost 2 songs)

On the stage, the title of the concert "Isai Meets Isai" was replaced as "Pallavi Anu Pallavi".  It seems Colors Kannada will be telecasting this show..

For some reason, I feel that orchestration for IR's Kannada songs are entirely different from his Tamil or Telugu songs.

True Usha madam.

Tamil and Telugu can be grouped together. Malayalam is also different.

Who can decipher his ideas? Very Happy

Late 1980's concert of IR (1988?) along with his brother.  The video title is certainly the reason for this video having a mere 100+ views! 

IR is intrepid, on fire and in his element!!  Wish IR remained this way.  He has toned down a lot from there on, but still they call him arrogant and what not.  I guess age factor has also played a crucial role.

You could see IR singing Unna pola aaththaa and talking about Nila adhu vaanathu mele, little YSR crooning Yayaayyaa from En Bommukutti Ammaavukku, Teenager Karthik Raja etc.

And then there are young Chitra / Mano / Sujatha and S N. Surendar.  There are a few MSV-TKR songs and Mere naina saawan bhaadon Hindi song in between!  There is NO SPB/SJ though.

There is a lady in pink saree (whose name I don't remember).  Can anybody identify her?

1. March-05-2022 Dubai Concert Video of the entire concerthttps://virtualexpodubai.com/listen-watch/events/raaja

            ---  IR in his element, and a concert from him is highly appreciated after a LONG time.  ONLY composer to have a great rapport with the crowd.

            --- Good to see a few different songs rather than the usual numbers.  Nice to see Charan singing.  He sang carefully with utmost devotion and sincerity; seems to have practiced a lot!  Shweta Mohan was good but still huffing and puffing, but the best thing about IR music is they are deceivingly-simple and thus IR songs expose a singer's weaknesses!  The girl who sang "Jaane do naa" was far better and did sing well applause

          ---  Happy to watch Hey Ram song demo, Punnagai Mannan OST, the multi-dimensional Acapella song "Naan porandhadhu vandhadhu" from Maya Bazaar and "Kaana karunguyile" song from Sethu (superb rendition by Anitha  applause of Putham pudhu kaalai fame).  Crowd was seemingly passive and dull during all those times, but came up alive when Kamal Haasan image came up on screen and Rajinikanth-starring songs were played including the climax song!  ---------  Goes to prove that people (still) could only either "see" a "star" on-screen or "hear" star-singers' vocals.  Also, the audience response and applause were lukewarm for Malayalam "Thumbi vaa", Hindi "Jaane do naa" and other-language song-bits like Telugu "Maate manthramu" and Telugu "Oh Priya Priya" (which was dissected layer-by-layer yet again after the IR-SPB USA concert in 2016, for a layman to understand the myriad flavors in IR songs rather than the uni-dimensional ones of other famous composers).  Again, people associate music with "language" whereas in reality Music has NO language because that by itself is one!

        --- NEW info: "Boksaasi" (something like that!) is the name of the string instrument in the prelude of 'Kaatril endhan geetham" in Johny movie.  This was an IMPROMPTU(!) performance by the team and very well sung by Surmukhi (regular IR crew member; who sang Paaruruvaaya in Thaarai Thappattai)  applause

       --- More than a TESTIMONY that Punnagai Mannan love theme, EnnuLLe ennuLLE from VaLLi etc. are composed by IR and not someone else!! 

        --- There is no whiff about IR or the concert, in the 'Expo 2020 Dubai' YouTube channel!  Isn't IR a "popular" or "international" composer?!  But, it is nice that they have uploaded the full 3-hour concert on the above-mentioned website without pay-per-view.  Audio quality of the concert was average; audio was going up and down throughout. 

          ---  Overall a good concert, with some crowd trouble in the beginning which IR was mediating though it is none of his business, but organizers' duty.  At least, IR is empathetic and concerned about his crowd's fullest satisfaction unlike other musicians (elsewhere) who come, perform and leave, giving two hoots about any kind of chaos. 

2. IR himself announced he will be doing yet another concert at Dubai in October-2022!

3. Chennai concert coming up on March-18-2022 at Island Grounds.  A Noise-and-Grains presentation.  Hope they record and play it like the 2018 Singapore concert.  Chennai concert's Tickets on sale at: https://insider.in/rock-with-raaja-march-18/event

Stay happy and blessed, Dubai and Chennai folks!  Wish IR team revives the original 2020 schedule as-is; at least 8 concerts were planned across the US, all of which was ruined by the evil virus.
