Thanks Mahima for your views....
   
  Neetika,Yep..Vaaragi naadikarai is a awesome composition...It was a great 
experience to see Shankar Mahadevan perform Varagai Naadhikarai during chennai 
concert...He is an amazing performer...

          Very true Mahima,
Actually, the song Varaga Nadhikarai from sangamam has the same pattern as a 
divine folk sufi Punjabi song "Dama Dum Mast Kalandar"...and dat folk song is 
composed in raaga yemen...
This sufi song is very close to arr's heart..as he even said bout it in his 
interview wid simi garewal few years ago!!!and he even hummed few lines of this 
song!!
Arr has produced such a great gem wid Varaga Nadhikarai...its composition has a 
divine love for God the same sufi madness!!!
its my all time favourite!!And shankar mahadevan has done full justice to the 
mood of it!!!

~love music love life
Neetika

I got to listen to the songs of Sangamam after seeing the thread here. I think 
its a great musical movie. A movie which has lovely folk songs with  very racy 
beats. Its a lovely blend of classical music and folk music. Songs like 
'Margazhi  Thingal which starts off with the famous Thirupavai has been sung  
beautifully to the raga of Sindhu Bhairavi. The transcendtal strumming of the 
tanpoora transfers one to an ethereal world. the song that impressed me most 
was 'Sowkiamma'Â  sung by nityashri and this song shows one the nuances of the 
raga ' Maand'. Though I am not competent enough to comment on this, I think  
Maand is a hindustani raag and finds its place in carnatic music too as does 
the raga 'Desh'. ARR has shown his prowess in the field of carnatic classical 
music and am sure this one song is enough to make his critics  eat a humble 
pie. The other song Varahanadhi Karai I think is using the raga Yemen Kalyani 
as its base though its a mix of
folk music.  But then again ARR has done it again bringing in  fine blend of 
folk music and classical music. 
All in all its a great album I think.

Cheers

Mahiya

Sangamam - This album by Rahman is one of my most fav.tamil albums....Infact IÂ 
would place it right at top as my all time favourite. Not many people seem to 
be talking about this album. This is an absolutely a delightful album by our 
Boss. Â  Â  Rahman makes an excellent effort to produce South Indian Classical 
music and what a effect. Each and every song is amazing. Those who are well 
aware of raagas, would be able to describe the genius of Rahman in this album. 
  MSV is amazing in aalalakanda , Shankar Mahadevan is mind blowing in Varaaga 
Nadhi Karai Oram….Mazhi Thuli,Maargazhi Thingal,Mudhal Murai…These songs 
will even melt a stone…   I am surprised that some of our Rahmaniacs(those 
who listen to only selected tamil works) don’t know about this album. Listen 
to this. This is a stunning effort from Rahman. Â  It was released at time when 
Rahman was at peak of his career and people were criticizing Rahman that he 
cant do
classical music. Then came Sangamam , as usual, Rahman let his work do all the 
talking. Â  This album is an absolute masterpiece. A album I would cherish for 
the rest of life. Just cant get over this album..Its amazing.   I can just 
thank Rahman for filling our lives with happiness and joys with his music. 
Thank You Sir !!! Â
