I was 13 years old when this album was released. Even though I was a staunch maestro fan by then the modernity and grooves in this album took my breath away. We bought the first boom box in our house (National RXC40 with graphic equalizer) and the first recorded tape that came up with the set was this film. I was so happy to explore the settings of the equalizer to increase the bass and without knowing I fell in love with the bass guitar. Up until the year 2000, I was not aware that the maestro's bass lines are captivating me all the time. Guitar Prasanna wrote an article about Raja sir's bass work and how impeccable it was on most of his songs. Since then I followed most of Raja sir's song and almost by-hearted all the bass lines. It is so refreshing to see an amazing musician like you perform the bass and show us the magic in real-time. Your fluid playing shows how much time you put into practice to master the fretboard. Thank you so much, Aalaap.
Hey Aalaap! Awesome chops and tight playing as always :D Can you plz cover "Kadhala Kadhala" from Avvai Shanmugi. I know its a rare song request for bass...bit would love to see you play the riff
An awesome bass line and superbly played. Raaja definitely the boss of the bass! My top3 request 1. Poonthalir ada - Paneer pushpangal 2. Kodaikala katrey - Paneer pushpangal 3. Kodiley maligapoo - Kadalora kavithaigal
Killed it man! I would love for you to do a cover of 1. Vaan Megam from Punnagai Manan 2. Vegam Vegam from Anjali 3. Vaan Meethile from Ragangal Maruvathilai 4. Illam Pani Thuli from Aradhanai
Aalaap...you really captured why this song stuck to our childhood lore so intensely. At that time i could not call out the bass guitar. Now at this stage as being a musician i realize there are these tones that hit the heart or base that really stuck. Thanks for this. As for your playing, it is outstanding. If there is one bassie i hold at the highest regard, it has to be you. Effortless rendition machan....
This is so awesome. I am mad fan of IR and always loved the bass guitar behind it. Now Aalaap Raju has demonstrated what goes behind it. Can you please play the telugu song 'Neemeda naku addamo' from Rakshashudu movie (chiranjeevi). It has lot of guitar in it. Very melodious. Also, I am curious how original bass guitar is stripped off in this song so what Raju plays comes up ?
This is stunning. Maestros bass lines are so intricate even after many listenings. You captured it beautifully bro. Eager to listen to pani vizhum iravu bass lines.
@@donjaved MSV is genius,there is no doubt.All arrangements are done by IR and the conductor will be a different person.Please don't show your ignorance here
Superb Sir. Very Smooth Pull Ketute Irukken . Im Using JBL 50mm 12Inch Mag Bass Box . Yen Room Kulla Unga Bass Medhakura Maari Irukku. Feeling HIgh Thank You So Much Sir. You just Nailed It
Second interlude and Saranams - pure #ASMR to watch. Every #AgniNatchathiram fan need to watch this video ❤️❤️ . Amazing , keep adding more Rajasir songs plz
Artists such as you truly bring out the beauty and the genius that lie hidden behind great compositions and I see your performances as an inspiration to many budding musicians and also to those keen listeners to look into the nuances of a composition into a greater depth. All that I can say is I'm greedy to listen to a lot more from you especially of Raja's. Its fascinating. Thanks for show casing your talent and you just play with ease but then I'm aware what hard work and practise must have gone behind achieving this level of expertise. Good luck to you and best wishes. Cheers! 👍😊💐
Very nice...I used to listen to the original song via headphones just for the slap bass pieces.. used to be a bit rare in Raaja sir's music. His bass notes are out of the world especially in his 80s songs.
As far as I know, slap bass was kinda unheard in Indian music back then and hence most of those bits were played on the keyboard. Incredible piece of music by Maestro!
Awesome! Two requests that I would love to hear you play. Thanks much, in advance! 1) Jana Gana Mana - Aayudha Ezhuthu 2) Tumhari Meri Baatein - Rock On
Wonderfully played! We can clearly understand how bass supports/compliments the overall structure of the song, sometimes playing as Harmony and some times acting as a counter-melody. Thanks to Raja sir for coming out with these gems. Credit should also be given to Viji Manuel sir who had creative contribution in many of these baseline progressions!
Bass line is the life line of any song....u just nailed it with utmost precision as always brother....ur videos are boon for many musicians who wants to play nd record bass parts in their track recordings especially in older songs with not so good audio quality because of difficulty in finding out exact notes of bass....u helped me a lot in this regard..tq so much.....am insisting u again to do a bass cover of mun paniya song too....

Nice guitar lines in "Neemeeda naaku", as you said. The bass line in that song is reminiscent of Ninnukori's.
