haha yeah it does sound like azhagana rakshasiye! Esp the surapathe part reminds me of the film song!

[qwertyu14361]

@sasa110 They are both in the raaga of "reethigowla"

[hsnse]

@sasa110 azhagana rakshasiye is in Reethigowla raga....

[qwertyu14361]

@sasa110 ..They're both composed in the ragam Reethigowla, and it is one of those very characteristic ragams, as in the phrases and structures become very recognizable after a while.

[navarasan]

very nice...who is this?

[ashwinrohin]

The ragam is ritigauLA. It is not anywhere near Arabhi. Samaja vara gamana is hindolam.

Aro: S G2 R2 G2 M1 N2 D2 M1 N2 N2 S

Ava: S N2 D2 M1 G2 M1 P M1 G2 R2 S

Other famous compositions in the ragam: dvaitamu sukhama, nannu vidachi, baale baalendu, janani ninnu vina, etc..

For the film music fans out there, look up "Azhagaana Rakshasiye" by A.R. Rahman, it is also based on Ritigaula.

oH>.. N arabhi is ,, S R2 M1 PA D2 S AND MIRROR IMAGE FOR AVAROHANA right??

[ssankara73]

@ashwinrohin - beautiful rendition... but disappointed that the video does not include the whole song. iLayaraja has used this ragam on several occassions as well. Well known movie song (of yesteryears) in rItigauLa is "cinna kaNan azhaikirAn rAdhaiyai..." sung by Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna and the song "talaiyai kuniyum tAmaraiyE" sung by S. P. Balasubramanian.

[vinaysangel]
