Maestro is a gold medalist in guitar. It’s always evident that his string sections are always world class. His guitar and bass are totally underrated. People never appreciated enough his work on the instruments. Every instrument is given an important role. Which is why, at 40 I’m still listening to Maestro’s songs on daily basis. Im a car and home audio diy enthusiast. I build high end systems just to hear the highest possible clarity on Maestro’s songs. The separation of instruments in a song shows he was ahead of his time. DAP+DAC+Class AB amps+ high end speakers are just put together to listen to his songs. I would’ve heard a certain song for nth times, yet i would be still completely immersed. That’s how magical his compositions are. Truly genius. Whom we failed to acknowledge due to our own ignorance to separate the musical genius and his personal traits.
Please do many many episodes with berty, I can listen to his talk about music for hours. I’m big fan of his recommendation’s and his knowledge. Waiting for next episodes.
Songs Mentioned 1. O butterfly - Meera 2:10 2. Vaan Megam - Punnagai Mannan 6:58 3. Kadalora Kavithaigal - Das Das Chinnappadas 11:11 4. Motta Maadi - Anjali 13:39 5. Iravu Nilavu - Anjali 15:42 6. Kodai Kaala Kaatre - Panneer Pushpangal 15:58 Great show by Berty & Vijay ⭐. The editing to showcase about the frequencies was well done. ✨
Bur 90% other raja songs are trash.. Dumma takka only .. Forgettable ones..i was born in 80s raja songs were like doordarshan, or black and white tv.. Monotonous,, there was nothing novel
@@wellbeing6198 all I see is hatred. If you don’t like him or his songs, you didn’t have to watch a whole video of people discussing about him. Piss off ☺️
@@kickass001Unfortunately, you will always find people like him on every Raja video. They proudly show off their hatred/ignorance/inability like it's a badge of honor 😅
@@VR471IR fans are terribly outdated, they just trip over very predictable sounds from the instruments. Yup, with a lot of complications in composition for what it's worth, when all of his songs only have the least mysterious blend. Mysterious blend is about positive and negative emotions, the way IR constructs his music to justify the emotions less standard, I'd say. His outdated fans (before clarifying, I don't want to call people who listen to IR songs that are pretty much trapped into his music because IR music left an indelible mark on their psyche as Outdated) -"I would certainly characterize those born in the '90s, who have no direct connection to IR's era, try to protect some inferior dogma that IR produced so aligning sounds on negative and positive emotions really! I would definitely call these people awfully outdated. Listening to some predictable frequency and boasting about it is silly.
@@Nathan-bv1rz People who like his music listen to it. Why are you watching this whole video about Ilayaraaja if you think his music outdated. If you don't want to listen to it, it's cool. stfu and piss off. let people who like his music, listen to his music. you are awfully dull minded.
The following channels (besides Aalaap Raju) have consistently uploaded bass covers of Ilaiyaraaja's music. Number in brackets denotes their uploads from 2020 with IR music. Sathish Kumar (72) MuSid (36) Bass: Gerard J Martin (33) Eddie Dhinesh (27) BollyBass (21) KUSH S (14) terence lee (10)
I enjoyed certain bass sections in these ilayaraaja’s songs, 1. Neethane en ponvasantham 2. Darling Darling 3. Idhu oru nila kaalam 4. Netru intha neram 5. Kadhal oviyam 6. Andharangam yaavume 7. Senbagame 8. Rasathi una 9. Un parvayil 10. Poove semboove 11. Thumbi va 12. Thanga changili 13. Kalyana then nila 14. Kodiyile maligapu 15. Oru kadhal enbathu 16. Poonthalir aada 17. Radha alaikiral 18. Devanin kovil 19. China china vana kuyil 20. Boopalam 21. Ilaya nila 22. Pon vanam panneer thoovuthu
The legendary Viji Manuel had played bass for Raja before Sasi. In fact, it was Viji who kind of mentored Sasi before Viji took up the role of a keyboard player for Raja. Viji Manuel changed the way bass was played in the Chennai music scene. Interestingly, since you mentioned Hey Ram, it was Viji who played the Piano intro and the interludes in Nee Paartha Paarvai. The legend Viji Manuel passed away sadly, but he has been a very underrated musician who has always been behind the scenes for many iconic music directors and songs. Viji Manuel was the son of the legendary and iconic Handel Manuel. Great show, by the way, very interesting conversation between you two. I could very well relate to Berty's fascination towards bass because I myself am a huge fan of bass.
Do check out the bass cover of ninnu kori Varanam by 14 year old Deshna chitturi on CZcams. She is good as well. czcams.com/users/shorts763cuLZD--g?si=2z4twWybVfO9DVeg
The bass in that song is such a delight. Tvg's nadhirdhaana and the accompanying bass and chord progression is something else entirely. Andha creativity dhan Raaja!
Such a genius Raja sir, but no respect, no value for the God of music he should have born in some other country and he would have been treated like a king by this same haters who mock, troll & degrade him. So sad. But for us who belong to the 80s era will always be his( loyal devotees) fans ❤

Brilliant video. Regarding independent basslines, regular rock bands didn't used to write them much but progressive rock bands used them. I am thinking Tull, Camel, Genesis, Yes, etc. It's possible that they influenced Raja because the late Viji Manuel had once mentioned about introducing progressive rock to Raja.
I have been gaining an understanding of bass only in the last few months and am coming to this after listening to Aalap’s bass rendition of Raja songs! Chinna vayasula tape recorder equaliser la bass full vechu enna ne puriyama keta songs! Thanks for breaking down the songs further and helping me enjoy them better!!
Omg . Most interesting and lovable interview ❤️❤️ recently. Please do more about ilayaraja and include experts like Berty . Decoding ilayaraja …Motta Maadi , Oh butterfly , Vaan Megam…
Where can we listen to the full quality of Oh Butterfly song? How can we understand the base line better? I tried listening on YT but I could not feel that much...
9:10 well said bro, I was trying to hear some Raja songs in my IEM's. I can't able to hear bass lines in some songs. I thought at that time we don't have technology.
loved watching this episode … Raja sirs bass notes have shocked and dumbfounded me on several of his songs.. Moonram Pirai’s - “Vaan engum thanga vin meengal” and “Neethanae enthan pon vasantham” from Nilaivellam Nithya
I wish you to create an episode explaining Counterpoint usage in Raja Sir’s music. If you do I would like you to include “Metti Oli Katrodu”, “Thendral vandhu”, “Poomalaiye” and “En Kanmani Un Kadhali” song. Also his usage of low pitched phrases in his songs. We can encounter it in the above mentioned songs. Creating something like that and making it loveable is something really great. I wish you to explain those songs . ❤

Hello Vijay Pls talk and explain about Kuthiraivaal movie. I watched Kuthiraivaal 2nd day in theater as you recommended to watch. Pls explain me to understand the movie from your point of view.
Thank you bro, i would have loved to. Unfortunately this interview was full impromptu. Naa practise pannala, and thalaivar piece vaasika i need to practice properly. Hopefully future episode la we can get Aalap or Mani anna (QFR) and they can play! They are far better than me
Thanks Berty bro. I'd love to see that combo working together. After all, we all are music lovers. You should also do "album" videos bro. Speak how they elevated the movie/ presentation with the album and bgm. I know they spoke some about it during the podcast, but even if it's a 15 min video, it's worth dedicating an episode for such albums bro. Please consider!!
