Many many years ago, it seems, Rajiv invited thevortex, my brother and myself to listen to his horn loaded speakers with Lyrita.
The vortex played Poonguyil, a Bharathiyar song from Maaya - The colour of rain. Its Piano and Voice for a completely non conventional performance. Slow staccatto of a Piano with a flowing voice like Sikkil Gurucharan sounds incongrous, but the music wasnt. I remembered the song and the album.
A few weeks back i picked this up when i went to Charsur Studio in Madras. The moment to listen came yesterday when the skies opened up in Bombay. I was sitting in office, playing the song and looking out of the window. I could see the rain, hear a bit of it, but not see the colour of rain - The colour of the music though is a kaleidascope. An uncomplicated album for any mood, especially when you want to close your eyes and contemplate.
Title - Maaya, The colour of rain
Label - Charsur Digital Works
Artistes - Anil Srinivasan (Piano) and Sikkil Gurucharan (Vocal)
Price - Rs 195
Go grab - You could also order online.
This is the second time i am showcasing Charsur CDs. Mr Bharat and Mr Lokahnde (http://www.hifivision.com/introductions/10530-new-acquisition.html) of Charsur Studio are very helpful salesmen. They let you listen to any song, including All India Radio (it still exists) and occassionally the cooker whistle in the neighbouring flat. You can bargain your hearts content, they will agree on whatever price you say, and will let you pay with your neighbours credit card. They will even see you off and help negotiate with the autowallahs - the second most wonderful breed of people. Thanks to Mr Bharat and Mr Lokahnde, i have been exposed to this wonderful CD. I will be eternally grateful to them. They are the best people to sell audio to unsuspecting common men.
