Hello friends I dont know tamil ,I am kannadiga and I listen daily Ilayaraaja’s compositions as Iam guitar I love his music because of the extravagant music arrangements and melodious composition,here Iam presenting some of my favourite songs composed by the Maestro.

1.Patta Poove (Semburathi) : Meldious song beautifully composed by Ilaya sir and the singers are s.janaki and mano , the song is in good rthym from beginning to end.

2.Naguva naliva (Pallavi-Anupallavi-kannada ) :- Singers spb and s janaki and u if u havnt heard this song i bet ull enjoy a must for IR fan what a melody,what a musical arrangement of violin ,flute and keyboard,mindblowing and a rare gem of IR.Mani sir,s first film.The love scenes of this film are same as of mouna ragam .

3.Elangaathu (Pithamagan) Sriram Parthsarthy the singer of this song provided ood justice to the song and Ilaya’s Bag is still full of meldoies I wonder Hats off to The raja of raagas.

4.Thenral varum (Friends) The sweet voice of hariharan+vizi manuel’s keyboard + ilaya sir’s guitar pieces = Masterpiece.one of my favorites the renderation of bhavatharini in middle wowfully wonderful.

5.Aye Zindagi (Sadma) :Suresh wadkar sings very melodiosly and the bass guitar an d violin pieces great ’’chota sa saaya tha ’’lines are good.

7.Enna sattum (Punnagai Mannan): Ilayaraaja’s and spb greatest combination gem hit and song seems romantic also and sentimental at the same time , this is the magic of raaga in which it is composed .
