[Music Thread - Songs for the night] I a planning to play some soft soothing songs, mostly non-Raja, with a bias towards Malayalam film songs. The type of songs you want to come floating to yours ears in the silence of the night.
Let me start with this Malayalam melody. 'apara sundara neelakasam' in the voice of the Gana Gandharvan. Music by Pugazhendhi. From the movie 'Vithukal'
'tandi hawayein' from 'Naujawan'. Music of Dada Burman. Singing by Lata. (Yesterday a thread ran that Lata was overrated. LOL).
'challani vennelalo' from Santanam. Anisetti's lyrics. Susarla Dakshinamurthy music. Gantasala the singer.
'gali pedavule mella sokina, poolu navvene nidhdhuralo'. What a line. One of my favorites.
'ezhu sundara raathigal' from 'Ashwamedhan' Sung by Susheela. Music Devarajan Master
Creates a lovely night mood
'yava janmada maitri' from 'Gowri'. One of Janaki's finest. GK Venkatesh the MD.
GK Venkatesh had tuned the poem of Rashtrakavi Kuvempu for this song
'padavela radhika' from 'Iddaru Mitrulu. Saluri's tune in the voices of Susheela and Gantasala. Another lovely night time song
'indha manrathil odi varum'. From 'Policekaran Magal'. PBS and Janaki. Vishwanathan Ramamurthy
'swarnachamaram' from 'Yakshi'. P.Leela, Devarajan Master.
'adha hai chandrama' from 'Navrang' Voices of Mahendar Kapoor and Asha Bhosle. Music of C Ramachandra
'sadi seyakoyi' from 'Raja Makutam' Voice of Leela. Music of Master Venu
'vasantha panchami nalil' from Bhargavi Nilayam. Baburaj's music. S.Janaki's voice
'Barghavi Nilayam' is an amazing short story of Basheer. I will clearly state that such a story is possible only by Basheer.
'ek baar pankavaruni' by Sudhir Phadke 'vasantha panchami nalil' was probably inspired by this.
'naane veene neene thanthi' from 'Mavana Magalu'. Poem of Kuvempu set to music by Chalapathi Rao. PBS and Janaki the singers
'edho varmukilin' from Pookallam Varavayi. Sung by Venugopal. Music of Ousepachan
The same 'edho varmukilin' by Chitra.
'chandrikaiyil aliyunnu' from 'Bharyamar Sookshikunnu' Music of Dakshinamurthy Swamy. Leela and KJY
'mouname paarvaiyal' from 'Kodimalar'. MS Vishwanathan's music. PBS the singer
'echatanundi veecheno' from 'Appu Chesi Pappu Koodu' Leela and Gantasala. Music by Saluri.
We will end this thread with this wonderful song from 'Ulkadal'. Music of M B Sreenivasan. Sung by Jeyachandran and Salma.
