கல்யாணியும், கோசலமும், ராஜாவின் இசை மேதமை மறுப்பும் !!!

Back in 2002-2003, when i tried to say raaja has mixed kosalam with kalyani in the Thalabathi song "sundari kannal oru seidhi", i had the so called 'purists' and "'theorists'" denouncing the claim.....

Now here is some evidence - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svdot2juaYY&feature=player_embedded

These 'purists' and 'theorists' doubted if Raaja could have actually had "kosalam" in his mind while doing this song.... The so called 'purists' and "'theorists'" thought it was outrageous to think Raaja actually had kosalam in mind while attempting what he did in the sundari kannal oru seithi song.....

These pseudo--often arrogant--experts, belong to the "ï-only-know-these-30-keerthanais-and-so-strictly-entertain-my-ego-within-my-sphere-of-knowledge" kind of kinatru thavalais didnt want to acknowledge anything by Raaja that they didnt understand .....It was as if they were indirectly saying "namakkae idhu theriyala, Raajavukku eppadi theriyum"?? These 'purists' and 'theorists' doubted if Raaja could have actually had "kosalam"" in his mind while doing this song....

May be Raaja does not care for kosalam + Kalyani, but he was goddamn sure of what feel the R2 G3 (kalyani) flow would give versus what the R3 G3 (kosalam) flow would give....for him, the feel is more important than the theory!

Raaja knows the limits and capabilities of the 7 notes.....he can bend and dictate terms and these 7 notes will dance to his tunes.....Raagas and theories are actually secondary, when we understand his deeper means of approaching music and the 7 notes !!
