Two good songs, one a must see/watch

Ever since I saw these guys on the Vijay Awards Show some three or more weeks ago I had no one to talk to about them. But now since the word's around and more people searching for their music I must say "check them out". The video of their song "Madai Thiranthu" their cover of Illayaraja's hit from the movie "Nizhalgal" is a must hear. Check them out at the link below on YouTube . The other song I have been listening to quite a bit is "Unn Siripinil" the latest from Harris Jeyaraj for Goutham Menon's new offering "Patchai Kili Muthu Charam". This number is going to be on the lips of many for quite some time. The other songs of the movie don't make a mark though they are bound to become popular. Like "Karka Karka" from Vettaiyadu Vilayadu there may be another number from Patchai Kili that might win my ear later.

Take a listen to this man - Prem Joshua

I had the privilege of listening to him on the iTunes Store and though I won't rate him a successor to Ananda Shankar, he is good to listen to. Prem Joshua is an adept flautist and sitarist. I read that Anoushka Shanker, Pandit Ravi Shankar's daughter and an accomplished sitarist herself is a big fan of Prem Joshua and I am not surprised. The music is great for a long ride, exotic choreography or as Ananda Shankar and Tanushree did, good for dances too. According to the article in Wikipedia there is a dancer from Singapore who is already creating such dance performances tuned to Prem Joshua's music. Some of the songs I would highly recommend are "Saroja Part 1" from the album Yatri, "Dakini" from the album Sky Kisses the Earth and "Bolo Hari" from the album Dance of Shakti. Check them out. They may be next best and new thing you were searching for in music.
