Echoes of the Maestro – Song 81 – Santhoshakke

Geetha (1981) film by Shankar Nag has a popular song album I guess as mentioned in my previous posts many songs from this album has been reused by Illayaraja himself for other languages (mostly Tamil though). Despite him reusing the original tunes he changed the base and we saw the difference in Kelade Nimageega and Devadhai Ilam Devi

Echoes of the Maestro – Song 16 – Oththa Rooba

Illayaraaja has given us another fantastic song from the same album, Badrakaali. A few weeks ago, I shared a song that was banned from All India Radio; that song was very folksy. However, this one is more of a song where both lovers respond to each other. As usual, Illayaraja’s touch with Malaysia Vasudevan and S. Janaki’s voices adds more fun. Do give it a listen!
