| Team-BHP Support | In the 1970-80s, there were some movies in the south that simply transcended the language barrier. How do I claim that? Because I neither speak Tamil nor Telugu, yet I kept listening to these Tamil/Telugu movie songs all the time. I guess it was the music that transcended the language barrier. These are highly emoting songs. Read the wiki links of each movie to get better understanding of the film. Super talented Suhasini in the Tamil film Sindhubairavi (She, her dad, her uncle - All national award winning actors) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindhu_Bhairavi_(film) In this Tamil film, the hero prefers to sing classical music in Telugu. But Suhasini urges and later challenges to sing in Tamil. Now let's look at Telugu. First was a classical musical called Sankarabharanam. Sankarabharanam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1980 we bought our first cassette player (2-in-1), with only one cassette, the Sankarabharanam album. It remained our only cassette for the next one year. Instead of getting sick of listening only one cassette, I got mesmerized by that music. I memorized every song without even knowing the language, and used sing along with the songs as it played. Some of the great songs from the movie. The second was a dance/musical Sagara Sangamam, which is also a visual treat. No language needed. Saagara Sangamam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There is another great song, but it breaks our forum rule #11, so let's leave it alone.  |

| I generally don't listen to English songs much, but am very fond of Instrumental music. This particular song however, impressed me so much that I listen to it many a time. Both the versions Instrumental by Henry mancini and Vocal by Andy Williams are too good. Quote:
@samurai. I believe Sri Purandhara Dasa is considered as father of karNaTik music not founder as all our classical music stems from sAma vEda. Purandara Dasa classified the rAgAs if I can recollect properly and is the first vaggEyakara known to us.(vAggEyakara is some one who composes and sings the songs himself/herself). I am consciously avoiding karNaTik music as this it will be hard to choose. Every krithi appeals to heart. Last edited by vamsi.kona : 22nd October 2010 at 19:55. | |

If not for Purandaradasa, there would be no sampradaya way of teaching carnatic music that's been followed till date! We'd not have been able to decode the great compositions of the holy trinity like Thyagabrahmam, Muthuswami Deekshitar and Syama sastri either. How a Navakoti Narayana who's greed and Avarice knew no bounds turned to Purandaradasa is a very interesting piece of story. There started evolution of scientific teaching of classical carnatic music! Here's another great song which touched my heart. From the movie Karna (tamil). The song is set to raaga Chakravaakam (aahir Bhairavi). Shivaji Ganesan as Karna lifts the role to a different dimension. NTR as Krishna - Nothing more can be said. If real krishna comes in front,half of south India might not recognise him, I guess as people associate NTR's looks with Krishna (and Rama). Kannadasan's lyrics are haunting. He's abridged the essence of Bhagavad gita in this song so beautifully. We all know what Krishna told Arjuna in the form of Gita. From this song, we guess, this is what Krishna has told Karna before taking his Dharma as Bhiksha! And TMS rendering his voice to NTR as Krishna again shows why he towers above all! MSV along with Ramamurthy have composed the song. Again, if one knows Tamil very well, they will find amazing meaning and interpretation of Krishna's act and Karna's sacrifice through the lyrics!
