World Music Abi: Ilayaraja

This is my tribute to Malaysia Vasudevan on his 75th birthday. This was really fun to make with the @growing_talents community.

@shruthianandmusic produced the backing music.

This song is called Kovil Mani Osai from the film Kizhakke Pogum Rail. This was released in 1978.

This is a duet song by Malaysia Vasudevan and S. Janaki.

Lyrics by Kannadasan and music by Ilaiyaraja

Unlike my other videos, I recorded the audio first using my earphones and then afterwards, I acted and lip-synced.

I decided to used two audio inputs while performing the cover to give the sound of two violins.

The original songs were scored by Ilaiyaaraja.

Thumbi Vaa (Malayalam Movie Olangal)
Aakasham enatidho (Telugu Movie Nireekshana)
Sangathil Paadatha kavithai (Tamil Movie Auto raja)
Neer Veezhchi thee mootudhae (Tamil Movie Kanne Kalaimaane)
Monday Tho (Hindi Movie Aur Ek Prem Kahani)

The carnatic notes for vilin are enclosed as below. This notes are what I played. It is possible to add other notes to make the phrases more varied and intricate to make sangathis.
