Telugu Cine Song Writer Veturi No More

Legendary Telugu cine song writer Veturi Sundara Rama Murthy is no more. He passed away yesterday 05/22/2010 in Hyderabad. I am a big fan of his songs. He has the range from class to down right mass.
What do you think of him ?

గాలిలో తేలాలని ఉందా ? ఐతే, ఇదిగో చిట్కా !

I am not sure how many time I listened to this song. May be this one is the perfect example for a simple yet powerful song.

Guitar Hero!

Let me present you the unforgettable and mostly forgotten song by us (Telugu). I think the original version is Hindi and please correct if I am wrong. Hindi version is amazing and with divine Kishore Kumar’s voice it is brilliantly composed tune. Then comes the Tamil version composed by Ilayaraja. Looks like it is a [...]

Digital Piracy and My 01 Cents

Decimal or binary, it won’t make much of a difference – of course, ‘my 01 cents’ is ‘my two cents.’ I could add more, but that is where digital piracy is taking some of my (rather large) investments.
Earlier on TeluGlobe, Krishna Chaitanya posted an excellent article on digital piracy and its effect on the Telugu [...]

Chandamama Ravayya Sung by People of Various Nations

Chandamama Chandamama Ravayya (not Chandamama Rave!) is some song composed in Telugu which they call it a folk tune from Chennai. But this was when there was much more unity among Telugu people and people in general.
The aim of this group, Playing for Change, is to use music as a means of connecting people world [...]

Poetic Eccentricity on Rivers (Songs and Commentary)

Being a poet is essentially being eccentric. Our innate desire to be eccentric makes us appreciate strange metaphors in poems and songs. A Telugu euphemism for poetic eccentricity is ‘bhaavukatha.’ If it were up to a person with no romantic touch, he/she would call this eccentricity ‘paithyam.’ About three years ago I guest hosted a [...]

Songs Playlists on TeluGlobe

TeluGlobe is an ambitious project, the goal of which is to create a social network for Telugu people with a global perspective. I am not expecting this place to be meant solely for serious discussions. I expect visitors to kick their shoes, relax while listening to music and/or have some fun. I am one of [...]

A R Rehman’s Deadly Signature DJ Mix.

Tamil Gharana Mogudu

Mannan is a reamake of Telugu block buster ‘Gharana Mogudu.’  Superstar, Rajani Kanth and Ramulamma are main cast.
I am pretty sure there is no song in Gharana Mogudu that shows Chiru taking care of his mother. But Tamil version has this:

అమ్మ..

అమ్మ మీద ఎన్నో పాటలు వచ్చి వుంటాయి. ఎన్నో గొప్ప గొప్ప పాటలు, తెలుగు, తమిళం, హిందీ మరే భాష అయినా సరే. కాని, ఈ పాటలో ఎందుకో తెలీదు విపరీతమైన ఆర్ద్రత వినిపించింది నాకు. భాష అర్థం కాక పోయినా భావం అర్థం అయింది. ఇందుకోనేమో వీళ్ళని సరస్వతి వరప్రసాదులు అంటారు. ముఖ్యంగా పాటలో అతను అరిచే అరుపు గురించి చెప్పాలి. అలా అరవాలని నేను ప్రయత్నిచాను. గొంతు బొంగురు పోయింది కానీ, ఒక్క శాతం [...]

Nothing But Wind…

Nothing But Wind : The basic idea you get when you listen to this composition is as follows: The world started with just nature, birds, clean and slowly started to get polluted and if this continues, the wold will get destroyed. Finally, only thing left is ‘Nothing But Wind’.

Music Album – Krishna

Have you seen this kind of music album before?
We all know about the song, it is about lord Krishna. Nothing special, but the photography is really good. The beauty of kerala you can see here.
I thought, i should share it with you.. Please comment
