Thanks for all your great work, I thin...Hi Ravinat,<br />Thanks for all your great work, I think the definition of Acapella includes no use of any instrument, I am very positive the vocal harmony has either guitar or synthesizer generated monotonal backing for most parts of the " rasathi en usuru" song from TT, so it should not really qualify as an Acapella, not that ARR is not capable of creating one. So I think Maya Bazaar dong still remains as the Acapella first in tamil <br />Thanks irfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17132007658155059542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125128644057118787.post-22364418032324488212018-04-21T09:58:24.703-04:002018-04-21T09:58:24.703-04:00Chitra, you are correct pointing out the 'Rasa...Chitra, you are correct pointing out the 'Rasathi En Usuru' from Thiruda Thiruda (1993) as the film was released 4 years before Maya Bazaar (1997). The first acapela in film music was not from Raja, as a result. Besides, the picturization of the ARR song is spectacular compared to the Maya Bazaar song. ravinathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220357576335516655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125128644057118787.post-43306729991765171612018-04-20T13:51:14.173-04:002018-04-20T13:51:14.173-04:00Thanks for getting back, Ravi. As a silent reader...Thanks for getting back, Ravi. As a silent reader of this blog, I must say you have explored IR's music very well. Please keep at it while and whenever you could. Coming back to my question, back in the 90's, "Raasathi en usuru" from "Thiruda thiruda" from ARR was touted to be the country's first a capella. What is your take on it? Yes, I did read your article on the Maya bazaar song before I posted those questions.Chitranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125128644057118787.post-89432119790014660712018-04-20T11:38:52.384-04:002018-04-20T11:38:52.384-04:00Thanks Chitra for your comment.

I did cover the Maya Bazaar acapela song earlier:<br /><br />http://geniusraja.blogspot.ca/2009/12/rajas-rhythm-innovation-stage-14.html<br /><br />I do not think TFM had any acapela before the Maya Bazaar song. Vizhil Vizhundhu is not acapela as the first 30 seconds is voice based though not as a harmony.ravinathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220357576335516655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125128644057118787.post-75831030783897243192018-04-20T02:16:20.505-04:002018-04-20T02:16:20.505-04:00Hi Ravi, this is Chitra, an IR follower! Could yo...Hi Ravi, this is Chitra, an IR follower! Could you shed some light if IR has done anything in a capella style before MayaBazaar? Also, has a capella been used in Tamil film music before the 90's? How would you classify "Vizhiyil vizhundhu" from the movie Alaigal Oivadhillai? It seems to have been rendered a capella style in the first 30 seconds of the song?Chitranoreply@blogger.com
