TAMIL MUSIC INTRO
Tamil music is one of the most ancient and complex forms of music. Infact it’s rightly said that once a person learns the nuances of Carnatic music which is the classical Tamil music it’s very simple for him to follow other music styles and forms. Most of these Tamil songs be it old or new, remix or classical Carnatic are available for free download in varying formats like mp3, real audio and wma.
Tamil music started off with the Classical Carnatic music. It was basically developed by the trinity of 3 saints called Thyagaraja, Muthuswamy Dikshitar and Shyama Shastrigal. Purandaradasar was another one of the pioneers of Carnatic music.
The initial Tamil movie songs were more classical oriented with devotional songs dominating the scene. Melody was a key element in all the songs. But over the years Tamil film music has kept pace with the changing times and the music has evolved from being melody oriented to being disco beat oriented. The music today has all the elements like hip hop, rap, disco beats, English lyrics infused within the songs which the young audience can identify with. The Tamil movie songs lyrics are available online for free download.
The 2 stalwarts of Tamil music today or rather the south Indian music industry are AR Rahman and Ilayaraja. Both of them belong to Tamil Nadu. While AR Rahman has become a force to reckon with not just within India but internationally as well, Ilayaraja has given umpteen numbers of super hit songs, most of which can be downloaded for free, which have made the audiences his loyal fans.
Popular tamil carnatic singers include MS Subbulakhmi, Balamurali Krishna, TN Seshagopalan, Bombay Jayashree, Bombay sisters, Unnikrishnan, Yesudas to name a few.
