Naadamaya-Dr. Rajkumar's National Award Winning Classic!

It's been a big gap since I posted a song. In fact I had the song ready last week but due to a routing problem my site had vanished from my ISP till today! Strange isn't it? Anyway the wait has been worth. In fact my friend Rama gave me this track some months back. When I heard the track I immediately thought "oh..it would take some time to learn this song". It was a very long and tough song purely based on Carnatic Classical music and that too a "Raagamaalika" starting in "Thodi". So I kept it in abeyance for a long time and finally spend some time doing it last week. I must say that Dr. Rajkumar never ceases to amaze me! This song fetched him the National Award too! This also shows how deep his knowledge in classical music was. He really was an enigma! I was deeply touched by the pure form of Carnatic singing that he has adopted in this song. He has sung it with so much of bhava. This evidently shows that he must have learnt the nuances from a really great master! This song was really a big challenge and after singing it I indeed am relieved a lot. I leave upon you to see how far I have been able to do justice to the original version. I again would like to thank Rama and Suchin for helping me out with the words and pronunciation. I also hope Rama keeps sending me such wonderful numbers. I really enjoyed singing a song on home ground (clay can be good but grass is my home)...Hope all the Rajkumar fans do enjoy this song.
