The December Music Season

1 Reply

Is On! Yippee!!!! 🙂 Blame it on my laziness or whatever, I am now just copy pasting what I wrote in my blog last year:

It’s that time of the year again when there are so many concerts happening in every nook and corner of the city that you will end up being confused as to which one you should attend that day! No wonder Madras is the place-to-be for a Carnatic music rasika in the month of December!

A year has passed! Sigh! 2007 happens to be the year in which I have gone to the maximum number of concerts before the start of the season. Starting from tomorrow, there is a Sanjay or a TMK’s concert on most of the days! I wish I could attend all of it! Every time I look at the schedule of the concerts for the next one month, I am missing the half-yearly and the semester holidays all the more! 😛

A song that made my day!

With such a nice weather that too on a Monday morning, will anyone be in a mood to work? 😉 This was the thought in my mind since morning. That’s when I listened to Vanessa Mae’s Contradanza, thanks to Hari’s post. Amazing! It’s bound to get you hooked to it instantly! Even after an hour of listening to it, I still can’t have enough of the song! Do listen to it if you haven’t before. Will surely help drive away Monday morning blues.

Bowled over by Rhythm!

A Concert by Take Four – Sri Vikku Vinayakram (Ghatam), Trilok Gurtu (Percussion), V Selvaganesh (Khanjira), R Prasanna (Guitar)

I reached Music Academy at around 6:50 pm for the concert that was to start at 7:15 pm and found almost all the seats in the two centre bays of the balcony, occupied. The first thing that struck me on entering the auditorium was the crowd. Having been to the Academy only for Carnatic music concerts, I have seen only the usual kutcheri crowds there. But on that day, everyone from a paatti in a 9 yard saree to a kid was there – crowd was something like the one at Saarang. As the concert proceeded, I wondered how the paatti would have liked it. 😉

Can’t have enough of listening to the song, Uyirile from Vettaiyadu Vilayadu! I have been listening to it continuously for more than an hour now. I love Srinivas and Mahalaxmi Iyer’s voice in this song! I like the lyrics of this song too. Here’s the lyrics copy pasted from TFM Page:

Music that moves you

I typed the previous post as a message in my mobile while I was travelling by bus. After a long time, I listened to songs in my mobile today while travelling since I didn’t take any book with me. While I was typing that post, I wasn’t paying attention to the songs that were playing when a song that played caught my attention – A.R.Rahman’s Tum Ho Meri from Kabhi Na Kabhi – a song that suited my mood perfectly. I have no clue about what the lyrics were. It was the music that had me captivated. In fact, I am listening to that song properly for the first time only today. I wonder how Rahman manages to create music to suit every possible mood! It was yet another moment when I was moved by his music. The song matched my mood so well that I was listening to it non-stop till I got down from the bus. Rahman rocks! 🙂
