Listening to the songs of 'Akka'. What tunes!!! First I must express my thanks once again to Rajasaranam who dug up this treasure. As Rajasaranam one said, "Raja has understood Akka better than the director of the movie"!!! Very true words indeed. Though the orchestration is modern, Raja keeps the essence of her sayings intact. The way he tunes "enagekayya" is top class. Starting off like a siddar padal, 'nandavanthil or andi' he then goes on to put his own stamp on the song, which also reflects the philosophy of Akka Mahadevi. Wonderful effort.
To watch and listen to this song, here is the upload of Rajasaranam:

If you read and understand Tamil, you should head to this blog post of Rajasaranam to get the meaning for these songs. Great job done by RS.
