Tribute to the GREAT SalilDA






Salil Chowdhury is one of the great music directors I admire on par with Ilayaraaja and ARRahman. Although he's not a malayali he had given most of his hits in Malayalam along with bengali and hindi. He started with CHEMMEEN in malayalam from 1966 and ended with Kadappuram in 1995.

KairaliTV Channel from kerala had arranged a special musical tribute on Salil chowdhury titled SMRITHI, as part of weekly programme DOHA DURBAR aired every friday 1:30 p.m. IST (11 a.m. Doha Time). All the singers were from doha and I also by god's grace got a chance to offer a gurudakshina for this great composer in the form of a song.
This song will be aired in Kairali soon after RAMADAN may be in Oct or Nov.

I invite every one of you to just listen to the AUDIO version of this song. This was orginally sung by Dr K J Yesudas in 1978 film 'Samayamaayillapolum'; I have tried my best to do justice to the song. CLICK on the play button to listen to the song I have rendered.

Wondeful rendition of this beautiful song. The accompanying music is really good and very true to the original. Obviously you have some classical singing background to sing this particular song. My only comment would be to watch each note carefully. Often you didn't hit the notes correctly - I mean they were slightly off like by a few "shruti"s. If you use a software called "Antaris" this will make this song in perfect pitch by correcting all those slightly off notes.
