Male choir singing set to Carnatic ragas - Pink tulips

This is very uncommon even with Raja’s work. I am yet to find a film track where he has used this technique. This involves using male voices to sing swarams for chorus parts.


Scanning through Raja’s work of 4 decades with film songs, I could not find a single example that meets this category’s criteria. However, thanks to Kamal, who found the 3-in-1 track that Raja performed during the Andrum Indrum Endrum show of 2005, Raja got male chorus singers to sing carnatic swaras.


Let's hear the 3-in-1 song...

Hello Ravi,

The interlude of song "Enakkoru magan pirappaan" from "Annanukku Jay", contains male chorus singing few swaras in mohanam. Will that qualify for this category?

Regards
