Innumente Kannuneeril - Tribute to Raveendran Master

Raveendran master is one of the unique composers we ever had in Malayalam music industry. Raveendran master has composed many soulful melodies. He started his career as a playback singer in the 70's and evolved as one of the foremost music directors in the South, composing about 1,500 songs in 450 films, in addition to a number of light music and devotional albums. It was Yesudas who helped him later to become a music director as Raveendran himself had strongly wished to be known as a playback singer. It was then that I V Sasi, the director of "Choola"(1979) gave him a chance to give music to the film. A few among Raveendran’s best songs were in films like ‘Thenum Vayambum’, ‘Amaram’, ‘His Highness Abdullah’, ‘Ayal Katha zhuthuthukayanu’, ‘Nandanam’,'Bharatham', ‘Mizhi Randilum’. His last film was ‘Vadakkumnathan’ a musical odyssey.

The song which I present here today is 'Innumente Kannuneeril' from the film 'Yuvajanaolsavam' directed by Sreekumaran Thampi. This is a beautiful composition from Raveendran master on the lyrics of Sreekumaran Thampi. Please let me know how you all like this one.

I am very happy that I am back to blogging again after a short break. Thanks a lot for the encouragement and support.

Yesu Nayaka - A song on the occasion of Easter.

Here is another new composition on the happy occasion of Easter. Easter marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a day of great rejoicing and merry-making. Easter ceremonies correspond to Passover, the Jewish festival. It symbolizes the ultimate victory of good over evil. Feasts are given, sweets exchanged and processions taken out on this occasion.

The song which we present here today is 'Yesu Nayaka' composed by another young talented composer Damodar Narayanan. Damodar is a final year Engineering student and he is very passionate about music. He does have a good knowledge in Classical Music. I met Damodar through internet and became good friends. This is a different composition by him on the lyrics of Christie. Subin has done a great job in orchestrating this song. Please let us know how you all like this.
