Uyire (Bombay) - Solo Version

During last season, I have sung the song 'Uyire Uyire' from the film Bombay in numerous stages. Sometimes used to sing as a duet and sometimes even as a solo version. Even myself and Thushar(Finalist of ISS 2007) sung this as a male duet in couple of stages. Both of us love improvising and we used to do a lot as there is pleanty of scope for improvisation in this song. Just thought of recording this as a solo version and sharing with all of you. Please let me know how you all like this.

Sadho Sadho - Meera Bhajan

Meera Bhai (1498 - 1547) was a Rajput princess who lived in the north Indian state of Rajasthan. She was a devout follower of Lord Krishna. Meera Bhai was one of the foremost exponents of the Prema Bhakti (Divine Love) and an inspired poetess. She sang in vraja-bhasha, sometimes mixed with rajasthani, in praise of Giridhara Gopala (Shri Krishna), her lord for whom she developed in her heart the most intense love and devotion.

Am presenting a Meera Bhajan 'Sadho Sadho' in the raaga 'Aahir Bhairav' which is same as 'Chakaravakam'. Chakaravakam is 16th melakartha raaga. The samay for this raaga is Second Prahar of the morning, around 6 - 9 AM. I heard this bhajan long back sung by P Unnikrishnan in his melifluous voice. Instally it went into my heart because of the beauty of the composition and heart melting rendition. Let me know how you all like this.

Kurukku Siruthavale from Mudhalvan

Hariharan,born 3 April 1955 in Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala), grew up in Mumbai in a Tamil Iyer family, and has bachelor degrees in science and law. The son of renowned Carnatic vocalists, Shrimati Alamelu and the late H.A.S. Mani (Anantha Subramani Iyer), Hariharan inherited his parents' musical talents. Alamelu was Hariharan's first guru (mentor). From here he picked up Carnatic music skills. He was also exposed to Hindustani music from a young age. In his teens, inspired by the songs of Mehdi Hassan and Jagjit Singh, Hariharan developed a passion for ghazals and started training in Hindustani music from Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan. He used to put in nine hours of singing practice everyday. The committed Hariharan also put heart and soul into learning Urdu when he decided to become a ghazal singer. He has perfected his Urdu diction to such standards that even his audiences in Lucknow, the heartland of the language, have been wowed over. From the time I listened to Uyire Uyire from Mumbai, I have been a huge fan of this great singer. I have a huge collection of Gazhals sung by Hariharan.

I along with Sindhuja present the song 'Kurukku Siruthavale' from the film Mudhalvan. This song is composed by none other than A R Rehman, sung by Hariharan and Mahalakshmi Iyer. Please let us know how you all like it.
