Megam Kottattum |

‘Megam Kottattum’ from ‘Enakkul Oruvan’ is a high energy track from the 80’s. Unison lines on guitar and bass was a new concept back in the day! Fused with interesting rhythm patterns, this ‘Isaignani’ Ilayaraja track is indeed a musicians delight to listen and perform!
Recorded directly into Logic X with the track running in the back ground and went for a live take. No post production other than some EQ and a finaliser in the end. Hope you like it. PLEASE use headphones and enjoy ;)
Do drop in a comment. Would love to hear from you! Cheers and God Bless - Aalaap

Came after flac monkeys "Raja" - vijay na suggestion.

[@userkarthik]

Same here bro

[@meesund]

Blessed are the kids who were born in the late 70s. No internet to distract, simple life happiness comes from listening to groovy raja sir songs in a repeat mode. The rhythm arrangement of this song is out of the world. The notes must have been coming to him at the speed of light.

[@joeezekiel2123]

I think we in the current times are blessed to listen to this phenomenal music with good speakers and enhanced bass covers.

[@arvindkumar-pl9cs]

I am a fan of Beatles and somehow my music journey enhanced with western music but the more I learned music I was able to enjoy and appreciate the Indian Music more and more.. If Beatles survived post 70’s they might have taken influence from Ilayaraja sir. This song and it’s bass line.. it’s a divine genuine piece.

[@KVasanthan1]

this is the drug.. nothing can come close to it

[@kasiraman.j]

Very true ❤❤❤

[@KGVKKR]

Aalaap Raju.... There's no better name that suits you, you're beautifully singing the song with your bass gitar. Good job and long live The Maestro, Raga Devan, The God of Music Gods, Isaignani ILAIYARAJA

[@Nitro_Gamer81]

What a composition from the great #raja# sir u excellently nailed it bro😍😍😍😍👌👌👌

[@jolinsonrichi4465]

Finally someone showed what bass actually do to the song! The salt of music #bass

[@ravishan1987]

Really enjoyed. This is what I listen when I listen to the original. Hope others understand the unique bass work.

[@nexGen654]

Yeah.. i can understand what u r telling.. I always focus on this even whn i listen to original ..

[@arunagiri7924]

The magic created by bass leads and gives another dimension to the song. really understand when u hear the song without it

[@murugank7772]

[@kabilankabilan1299]

My favourite song... I hear this song especially for bass guitar...the bass guitar will take this song to the top of the world....

[@shibiyajoseph3203]

Amazing....thanks to Vijay Varadha Raj anney❤❤

[@ajishajish5016]

1:09 -1:24...no words......awesome . plzz play some malayalam cover by raja sir

[@shivar2555]

as an ordinary music listener i can understand the nuances of bass line. Kudos Ilayaraja and thanks Aalaap Raju for bringing up the excellent composition.

[@arvindkumar-pl9cs]

The guys who disliked it... hmmm, you will be enroute to hell to give a justification failing which you will remain there... Revisit and like if that’s what you actually meant. What a baseline and someone playing it in front of us is like a God Sent Gift.. omg !! This is some great stuff !!

[@vthyaga]

Incredible cover of probably the greatest Tamil bassline of all time 😍❤️

This is something which is much more than your imagination . Hats off to the musician , that’s all , nothing can be a compliment to this for his dedication & talent ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks a lot uncle! Your encouragement means so much to me ❤️ 🙏🏻

[@kasiraman.j]

Is this malayalam composer ousephachan sir here🙏🏻🙏🏻🙂🙂

[@crazyfingersbruce]

The part from 0.39 onwards is killer, it repeats again at 2.17 😁 love that entire sequence of notes. Super cover Mr.Aalu 👍👍👍

[@rajeshrsutube]

Nice observation

[@pranavabalajir4201]

Another unsung composition from the maestro. Both the interludes are artistic marvels. Nothing short of Westerners.

[@AalaapRajuOfficial]

Absolutely!!

[@sridharvivek7240]

@@AalaapRajuOfficial,to understand better,small portion of song must be played with and without bass guitar. It will be helpful for new learner’s

[@roxrakesh]

Wow wow wow , thanks for making this ... it’s been so hard for me to explain to my frens who can’t listen to these notes naturally & so won’t be able to relish the ultimate bass talent to Raja sir ... No I can jus share them this video 🙌🏽🙌🏽

This is freakkkin amazing💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@chandrasekat705]

Love bass gitar in every songs. Particularly valayossai sons film sathya

[@SaiMusician]

From where do u get the bass notes? Bcoz it's very hard to figure it out as it's too difficult to get it from the original. Mainly due to audio quality. Ilayaraja songs sound heavenly with bass boosted mainly because of u

[@s.k.kannan4438]

There is an old song "Tell me Tell me" from 1988 movie Manamagale Vaa, The running bass notes in the prelude and interlude are mind blowing. Request you to please play for us these notes.

[@AalaapRajuOfficial]

Sure ! Thank you for watching…

[@rayabhijit]

Superb! The whole idea of the bassline playing as a parallel melody and not just a supporting note to the main melody is something that differentiates Ilayaraja sir from many other composers. This is such a wonderful cover... Loved it!

Well said!
