I'm a new visitor to this website. I couldn't see anyone discussing about Vani Jayaram's songs.
Let me start this one.(It had been there previously pls. forgive me!)
"Ezhu swarangalukkul ethanai paadal..
Ithaya surangathul ethanai kelvi...
Vaazhum manitharukkul ethanai salanam.."
Wow! Beautiful voice!

I second Saravanan's idea. Do record the whole conversation. You can edit it later to be presentable (why am I telling YOU this? you probably know better).
I don't know if you asked her anything about "Aanathineeyara" song and all her songs in the Swathikiranam movie. But if time permits, can you ask her what her feelings are for that movie and the song that won her the national award? The whole movie is filled with her songs. How did she feel about it? Working with KVM again for a musical film, winning many awards for it etc etc. You get my drift?
Kaumudi -
I'll remember to ask. Let's hope the drift stays!
hehehewalrus -
Thanks for the reply.
That number seems to be dead - or near dying. I get a static wheeze and then some weird cross-talkish buzz. Then nothing. Madras-la mazhaiyaa? :-)
Saravanan -
The SOTD offering is new to me, and yet strangely familiar. Must be that "circa" effect?
Neel D -
Poo Mazhai? By all (un)heard accounts, pozhiyallainnu ninaikkiraen? :-) Never heard of it.
The lead that falls into your net sometimes - god!:-)

Isai Puyal number kku adichu irukka poreenga. chk pannunga nalla :-)
Neel,
is Poomazhai a new film? Any details?
Saravanan,
I just happened to find it on musicindiaonline. I have no details on Poomazhai.
Happy Sarasvathi Poojai to everyone.
Visit http://www.stonewallcreations.com to read about "Magizhampoo Maalaiyiley", the new album from the Ezhu Swaranggalin Gaanasarasvathi.
Neel, has the album been released in India?
Saravanan,
I think it is releasing very soon.

Has anyone heard this song from Muhurtham 11.30 am (Malayalam) before. Without reading the credits on the website, it is hard to say that it was Vani singing it. Here is the link,

Music was by Shyam.
Naaz/raj/vengayam, thank you very much.
Saravanan, "Magizhampoo Maalaiyiley" has released in India.
Hi All,
Things are going real good here (what with a downpour to beat all downpours!!) and am having a great time.
Neel D -
Any reviews on the album? I hope to see it in album in the stores in the next few weeks.
I also spoke briefly to VJ last week. Have made a tentative appointment to meet with her on 23/24 Nov. Will keep you posted. I am looking forward to chatting with her in person after nearly a decade.
Vengayam -
I am with Thaai, in her Agam...Your "catching on" can use a "romba" prefix! :-)
ALL,
Do not miss Vani Jairam's light music concert on K-TV at 8:30 am Deepavali morning.
Also, do not miss the orchestra of Sakthinathan on SUN-TV at 6:30 am Deepavali morning. Sakthinathan composed the album "Magizhampoo Maalaiyiley".

I watched the movie Vishwathulasi and it was great to hear Vanijayaram's voice after a long gap. The songs were only two liners, I wish she was given a full length song in the movie.
HAPPY DEEPAVALI to everyone
Neel
Vani Jayaram's program on K TV is at 8.30PM
Sathya, thanks for the correction.
Happy Deepavali everyone!
Did anyone watch VJ's concert? Please tell us all about it.
Vani Jayaram chosen for Kamukara award
Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 12: Noted playback singer Vani Jayaram has been chosen for the Kamukara Foundation's award for outstanding contribution to film music.
Vani Jayaram, who had rendered over 8,000 songs in different languages, was chosen for the honour "for her contribution to film music in general and the south Indian languages in particular," lyricist and jury-member Sreekumaran Thampy told a press meet here.
Instituted in memory of singer Kamukara Purushothaman, the award carries Rs 25,000, a citation and a memento. (Agencies)
hehehewalrus,
That is great news. Thanks for posting it. Is there a link where we can read more of it.
Congratulations to VJ!
Dear Neel,
it is here

Thanks hehehewalrus.
All,
"Chozhanin makale" at the egroup. Don't miss it.
how come this thread in archived? very strange and surprising.
when is the next instalment from saravanan sir?
Naaz
You were supposed to have met VJ right around this time. I hope you can share your experiences with us.
Kaumudi -
The meeting with VJ was memorable and overwhelming! Have recorded the conversation - about 70-75 mins in all (and your question made it - VJ introduced the topic!) Will keep you posted on the broadcast date.
Thanks for remembering - and asking!
(Am posting this from between "here and there". More when I am back to that familiar "stability" called "home"!)
Naaz
Now I can't wait to listen to that conversation. Come "home" soon.
Neel D -
The new files at the website always surprise: Thanks for Kannil Vandhaai, Manmadha Raagangale, Devan Koyilmani, Vellikkizhamai...Your perseverence (in digging up these precious fossils) never ceases to amaze. Keep them coming!
Kaumudi -
I have not been able to check the recordings yet. But they made it home with me - safely. Hang in there, I'll get my act together soon enough.
Have any listened to the Visvathulasi songs yet?? I heard Vani is singing in this movie.
Naaz,
Welcome back. Looking forward to the interview. If time, geography and other factors did not limit me I will be able to dig out many more songs. Also special thanks to Saravanan, sk, manoharan, Venkat Raman and others for their valuable contributions.
Neel D -
I wouldn't call it an interview, more of a conversation with musical departures and digressions. VJ was in her element.
It was the last day of my stay in Chennai, and I was in the grips of that familiar "last-minute" paranoia. My random (interview) notes were brief and scattered and I was not terribly prepared. But - call it the intuitiveness of VJ - the recording was smooth, and the conversation charted it's own revelatory course. I've tried to make it something of an abstract exercise - free-flowing and without the usual formal cliches. As an experiment, the opening of the conversation is done differently, in the form of a musical quiz!! VJ was taken by the suggestion, and gave it all she had.
I could only manage an English recording (there was hardly any time left for a Tamizh fascimile) - but it is top-notch VJ, eloquently forthcoming.
Perhaps we could talk about getting it to the website sometime in the new year (after it airs on some north american non-commercial radios?) Can you think of other avenues? Please let me know.
Vanifan -
VJ has sung for Viswathulasi. However, her songs/verses are not included in the audio/CD.

She is in love. She is happy. What is so special in the air today? What is so special about that scent in the air today? It is the youth that just arrived, the solitude, and the sweetness of it all.
inRu varum kARRinilE enna visEsham - athu
Enthi varum vAsanaiyil enna visEsham
iLamai puthumai thanimai inimai
Will her love survive the difficulties? She is full of doubts and questions. She sees beauty and happiness in everything, but she questions it all. This happiness does come with pain and doubts.

Asai vali pattathamma nathiyin uLLamE
She is in love with a man from another caste. The lyricist says it with absolute poetic beauty - An "aal" is longing to marry an "arasu".
He goes furhter and equates the appearance of the "aal" to her state of mind. The "aal" with her ungroomed hair waits there in despair.
Alamaram thalai viriththu niRpathum enna - oru
arasanukku mAlaiyida thudippathum enna
There is love and romance everywhere. The sparrows are in love. The rooster is romancing the hen. The cuckoos are singing in joy. The peacock and peahen are making love. There are no divisions among them. The lotus is looking up at the sky for her lover. The sun, her lover, comes and embraces her. Does the sun have a caste?
thAmaraippU vAnathtaiyE pArppathum enna - athai
thazuva vantha sUriyanin jAthithAn enna
Is there a language for the words in one's heart? Or is there a device to capture the images in one's mind? Do eyes have boundaries? Do all women have a shrine in their hearts? Are there bonds that do not care abouts divisions? Who knows which heart connects with which heart? I am the query and I am the answer.

Such brilliant lines of poetry, a smoothly flowing composition, lovely veena, flute, violin and tabla. And above all the voice that brings everything together and carries the whole song on its expressive shoulders. VJ's trademark stresses at the right places, and the right expressions at the right words bring the listener one with the song. This is a song I came to know only a few months ago, but was released more than two decades ago. Thanks to sk for this lovely song that I listen to everyday and have memorized fully. If someone said that this song was composed by MSV, I would have believed it. Or if someone said that it was by IR, I would have believed it too. I hear both of them in the composition. But VJ said that this was by R.Govardhanam... and I believe her. Lyricist unknown. Another beautiful song from the same movie (Kadavulin Theerppu) is "anbu thalaivan kAladi chuvattil", a VJ-TMS duet.
Neel D -
A fine selection, and an equally confident reading. Thanks for highlighting this less(er) heard solo. I've always liked it (may be the only other person who remembers it too!) and your commentary was an able guide to an encore. Did Kadavulin Theerppu
spell exile for R. Govardhanam?
PS: Is it jairam'ji for Saravanan's chronology? Has been a long wait, yeah?
