Thread #18 - 1/n Raagam for the week: Chakravakam, a raagam for emotions of dejection and sadness. Hence, posting this short thread a little late in the night, so that the songs rather put you to sleep, than spoil your evening :) https://twitter.com/rgchennai/status/1325063324342444035
2/n Disclaimer :) Also, there’s a playlist with all songs in the last tweet of this thread. https://twitter.com/rgchennai/status/1281893304070582272?s=20
3/n Carnatic song to set context – Pibhara Rama Rasam, by Sadhashiva Brahmendrar. You may not understand a word, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the legend Shri Balamuralikrishna leaves you with a tear or two. Do listen, and the next song may pop up.
4/n If someone were to list the 10 most legendary songs of Tamizh Cinema, I believe, this would be an easy pick. Seergazhi Govindarajan, MSV, Kannadasan, Sivaji, & NTR come together to tell you the life of Karna in a song – Ullathil Nalla Ullam.
