Keeravani Raga - Tamil songs in Keeravani, the endearing raga.

Hi, friends. One of my favorite ragas is Keeravani. It is the 21st Melakarta ragam and its quite popular in western music as well. It is known as Harmonic minor scale in western music. Many songs have been composed in this raga. Most of Ilaiyaraja's compositions are in this raga.


One such song is Oru Kili Uruguthu song from Anandha Kummi movie. Its a beautiful as well as an innovative composition by Ilaiyaraja in Keeravani ragam. Then, of course the song Keeravani from Paadum Paravaigal is also based on Keeravani raga. Its my favorite song as the fluctuations of the high & low notes are well composed. We can hear the Carnatic touch relevant throughout the song. Another great composition by our Maestro. The popular song Unna Nenachen from Apoorva Sagodharargal is also another example of this raga. The song won a National Award. That makes us believe that Keeravani is obviously a beautiful raga.

  4. Tamil cinema may seem like a little low on the budget and may use some help in its distribution in the Hindi movie industry but it is well-known amongst Tamil speakers in India and Sri Lanka even in Singapore, Malaysia and other nearby Asian countries. Check out Tamil Lyricisits
