Those so-called ace bollywood composers were in a situation of could not even dream to take their tunes to Hollywood movies or to win internationally.

Friends just because your music knowledge is limited upto that you tend to omit the certain facts & become partial. Try to be balanced, be truthful before coming to post about musicians & music. There are people for every good music & every talented musician means there are many good music & many talented musicians as far as INDIA is concerned. > > It is Limited to Film music about Raghuman, the only one in whole india to make west have keen interest not just to listen, to use & perform his tunes only for a decade now. If you take great musicians from Carnatic & hindustani genres they are winning their part for many decades performing & spreading its popularity in the West without announcements & from where many westerners are interested on our culture & learning these genres. Most people who are listening only film music are not aware of these things as other genres are out of glamour world. As a music lover in broader sense, i am for raghuman when bollywood music fans & critics want to pull him down, i am for ilayaraja when it is kollywood for raghuman failed to maintain standards here & i will speak for the best ever valued traditional genres (carnatic & hindustani) when film music lovers ignore them without knowing its values. i give due respect to all INDIAN FILM > Composers & all INDIAN MUSICIANS who perform for different genres.

None of these composers have the range and versatility of ARR and have used these instruments in the specific way ARR has. Of course, many have used solo instruments, but ARR's specialty relies not just in the fact that he uses them, but how he uses them. > > > --- "Ricky" <rickypc@> wrote: > > Buddy...my guess is you haven't listened to any other Indian music then :) > Haven't you heard Shankar Jaikishan using Accordian in Awara, S.D.Burman using Kalyanji's 'been' in Nagin, R.D.Burman using harmonica in Aradhana, Jatin Lalit using piano in Pehla Nasha, Vishal using guitar in Satya, Anu Malik using violin in Baazigar, Shiv Hari using Santoor and flute in Chandni, ....gosh the list can really go on and on!!! >
