This is reply to ram's views of IR, classical music, saint-composers etc.I read the message by raam. To my experience what he says is right to
some extent. First of all this started becoz of IR's open comments
quoting as pop-corn & all. I am born in bombay and did my schooling
in bombay. My college days in chennai & now working in bangalore. I
also learnt some vocal classical hindustani to pt.jasraj in my school
days say 4 years and discontinued unfortunately. Hindustani music is
not gaining in north itself too much as what it was once and what it
should be now becoz of over dominating of bollywood music & other
private albums, mtv-craze etc. Most of the youngsters who learn
hindustani was aiming to become a play back singer or entering light
music etc. in a short period and do not want to pursue in this
classical music at all for its heaviness. if it is so how the
classical music in north would survive better. In chennai a press
took a nation wide voting about their taste of music years back where
50% were for film music, light music, 35% for carnatic, 10% for
hindustani & 5% for folk. But in chennai so many youngsters are deep
in learning carnatic atlest for some years & half of them aiming for
classical concerts. Here in film music, voices are not that much
attractive except for few. But creativity, skills, varieties are lot.
But in north voices are excellent but creativity/variety lacks. The
more and more one learns the basic classical music the more they can
give varieties. Otherwise music will be repetitive, monotonous & dry.
We can have hits only rare. Even ARR has mentioned teasingly with a
smile for a question asked to him as what he would say about
bollywood music. he referred as bollywood has enough of punjabi music
which means where are their own creativity when they have this rich
hindustani? And dapaangoothu is not at all good music. True music
lovers wont relish this music. Why cant one make even the poor people
to identify good music and rahman is one such person. why should you
give the poor people unworthy music according to you. For example, to say when poor people can enjoy 50 rupees worth of music why should they be branded
to listen only 10 rupees worth of music. Make good music also to
reach poor & show this is music. Then they will certainly identify & enjoy good
music. my vote is only for good vulgarless music. pankaj
