The first interlude is primarily saxophone, strings and Veena and Chitra joins SPB in the charanam. The second interlude has wonderful female harmonies, followed by a poignant violin piece followed by an energetic nadhaswaram piece leading into the 2nd charanam where the composer adds a tabla instead of the rhythm programming. This is all-in-all a competent melody song that Kannan can be proud of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Song: Roja Poo Ondru Composer: Kannan Singer: SPB, Chitra Lyrics: Karky Movie: Rendavadhu Padam This is a retro song tuned by composer Kannan in the Ilaiyaraja genre with the typical instruments that Raja would use for such a duet song.
