This song is a rare gem and it needs to be more publicised, it is a flawless song from Raja, with intricate orchestration. If you want to test a guitar player ask them to play the interludes of this song! Raja uses Guitar, steel flute (has a different sound texture as compared to the bamboo flute), keyboard\/piano, strings section, drums. The song is set in a haunting scale which sounds like Sindhu Bhairavi. Each interlude of the song is so intricate and if you want to show the genius of Raja, this one song is enough. SPB, Uma Ramanan sing it with elan and there is another solo SPB version which I always prefer. This song shows that there are many, many more fantastic songs of Raja apart from his usual staple hits.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=l8bIMKbNkI0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Song: Yaar Thoorigai Composer: Ilaiyaraja Lyrics: Info not available Singer: SPB, Uma Ramanan Movie: Paaru Paaru Pattanam Paaru One of my favourite pastimes is finding rare songs of composers and I feel more happy and excited when I find a rare song of one of my favourite composers-Ilaiyaraja.
