Veera Raja Veera Lyrical Reaction! PS2! Tamil | @ARRahman | Mani Ratnam!

[@EagleOverTheSea]

The primary percussion instrument here is a Mridanga, I think. In the past all Indian music used it as the percussion instrument and the Veena as the primary string instrument (Saraswati the goddess of music is always depicted with it). Later, Hindustani (North Indian tradition) developed with a mixing of Indian and Persian music and the Tabla and Sitar came out of this experimentation and became the primary instruments for them. The Carnatic (South Indian tradition) continued with the Veena and Mridangam. In the Hindustani tradition, the Dhrupad category of music still sticks to the Mridanga and hence is used when an ancient and historical feel is required. It also helps the primary Tamil audience connect with it because they are more used to the Veena and Mridangam than the people outside the South.

[@AnoopKammaran]

Pakhawaj and Mridangam are not the same... You might want to look it up...

[@EagleOverTheSea]

@@AnoopKammaran Size differences mainly. A Pakhawaj is a modified Mridangam.

[@ezhilvarman856]

This Tamil song is incredibly phenomenal. It displays rich and complex musical output aided by rich and powerful composition with layered notes and rhythm. Unmatched musical masterpiece

[@sivajanumm]

Its average for me which standard ARR has created so for his prime.

[@CinemondoPodcast]

Gorgeous!

@@CinemondoPodcast Burk was right about incorporating the Indian classical scales in guitar, there is a person who had the same passion to play indian classical on electric guitar and he's now the famous "Guitar Prasanna" Who graduated from Berkley college of music.He also has worked for ar rahman on many songs, please react to the video Ar rahman meets Berkley- thee thee " you will be blown away by Prasanna's guitar skills and mohini dey an Indian basist who is at level of Victor Wooten

[@akshayiyer8897]

In start of the song, ARR credited it to a style of Hindustani Classical called Drupad. The beat is atleast 1000 years old but the style is atleast 400 years old

uff arrahman the legend ,storm of music.. emperor of indian music

[@leo_ryda-81]

Loved your insight into this masterpiece!! ❤❤ Just to give context into what the song is about: The lyrics are praising the strength and might of the Chozha king, and is leading up to his coronation. It is also talking about the love between him and his queen in the "bridge" (why AR chose to change the scale there, to reflect a softer, loving vibe). Then reverts back to talking about his victories in the war etc. I loved how AR switched it back and forth. Hope this clarifies the context of the song 🙏🏽

[@CinemondoPodcast]

Wow thank you! Great context -❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@vinothpermal8223]

Super comment again again again again again again again🌃👍

[@RuminativeEmbryologist]

That song is a coronation song. Which I believe it's Gonna be at the climax of the movie.

[@mstudio752]

This song about The Great Tamil king Raja Raja Cholan from the Chola Kingdom.

[@ramsundaram4615]

Amazing Tamil. lyrics..beautiful ❤

[@dhamodharan6803]

Lyricist ilango krishan lines are exceptional even vairamuthu cannot justify the song.

[@difficultdam]

Couldn't agree more. Ilango avargal is such a talented lyricist.

[@Jingara2]

Splendid Directions given by Mr. Mani Ratnam and almost all characters (Main or Side roles) have worked diligently to make this movie Extravagant, Picture-perfect and hence a grand Success... Great team work... In Pooniyin Selvan Part 2, the icing on the cake was the amazing music given by Mr A R Rehman. Literally his tunes played with the audiences' mind taking them directly to the Land of Cholas.... In short... A piece of Art... Simply phenomenal

[@kamalatemplin7975]

Katy and Burt did a good job describing this song ,thumbs up 👍

[@CinemondoPodcast]

Thank youuuuu!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@priyavisweswaran5573]

.There is something called Chhandas in Samskrit. It refers to the rhythm in recitation of words. Tamil had it before Samskrit possibly. In Samskrit it was flushed out extensively into many many numbers and types of beats, like the English pentameter. This style of singing with emphasis on numbers of syllables per line and emphasis, utilizes the concepts of Chhandas in the recitation of mantras....all of which are old, one posits, most respectfully 🙏🙏

[@lawanyaarvind2810]

Thank you so much for that information..Very enlightening

[@RPSubliminal]

Yes you are right. In Tamil its called as Sandham.

[@kannanmanoharanmanoharan8432]

Subscribed becoz of ponniyan Selvan...TAMIL HISTORIC KING CHOLA...WHO RULED SOUTH EAST ASIA....

[@CinemondoPodcast]

Yay!!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻

[@RuminativeEmbryologist]

And Sitar is a mix of two instruments, an instrumentalist at the Court of Mughal Emperor Akbar combined Veena and Tar of Persia and brought it as sitar. If you listen closely to tar it will definitely make a sound like sitar.

[@CinemondoPodcast]

Very cool!

[@gouthamdeepak657]

This Veena not Sitar

[@RuminativeEmbryologist]

@gouthamdeepak657 It is indeed sitar not Veena. Both sounds are similar and you can't find a difference especially when it's plugged into an amp. It has some distortion added to the output.

[@RuminativeEmbryologist]

@gouthamdeepak657 And according to actual lyric video of veera raja veera, both Veena and sitar were used FYI.

[@ritesh.prakash]

Akbar didn't do anything!! Sitar was with us even before Islam existed in the world!! Narada Muni has Sitar!!

[@tajnotpm6281]

The song follows Durbari Kaanada Raaga (something like a scale).

[@veni9607]

Its actually carnatic music style..

[@theacechip]

Adana, not Darbari, same scale, different emphasis.

[@anjukarikan7293]

I love this song so much. A R Rahman is a SPLENDID music director. I feel so related to the Cholas. 😂 Guess Why? Because my Surname is Karikan. Maybe my forefathers when arrived in South Africa spelt the name as Karikan and not Karikalan 😂. Just joking. But it is nice to have a name that is so related to Karikalan. Greetings and love from South Africa ❤❤

[@ramsundaram4615]

Starts with Mridangam....typical Tamil percussion

[@hsthast7183]

Isn't it Pakhawaj? Since it's like the trademark instrument of Dhrupad Raaga. Listen to Shiva (Dhrupad) on KZbin it sounds exactly the same.

[@theacechip]

@@hsthast7183 It is based on Dhrupada composition. They have mentioned it in the opening credits.

[@hsthast7183]

@@theacechip ik bro but i m talking the percussion instrument. Ram Sundaram the origional commentor in this thread said that the percussion instrument is Mridangam but i think it's Pakhawaj, since Pakhawaj is more prominent in Dhrupad tradition. Thats the conflict here, not whether It's Dhrupad or not, coz everybody unanimously agrees that it's Dhrupad. it's not even a matter of debate.

[@theacechip]

@@hsthast7183 It is a bit difficult to discern. Pakhawaj has a a bit more bass I think while mridangam has more flex in the mid tones.

[@hsthast7183]

@@theacechip ya n that's why Pakhawaj is preffered in Dhrupad coz it's bass heavy. In fact the description section of the Tamil version of Veera Raaja Veera, they credit Pakhawaj so I guess the issue is now settled.

[@cruise_control]

The music is not Indian (Hindustani), it is local Tamil music!

[@theacechip]

This is based on Dhrupada style , there is a composition Shiva Shiva which is on the same beat (5 beats). This is acknowledged in the video itself.
