Bésame Mucho

Bésame Mucho is a famous mexican song written in Spanish. Bésame Mucho means "Kiss me a lot". One of the very famous song in Tamil was inspired from this song. Can you guess?























Look at how MSV presented in a form that was so native to us, yet so foreign!!

Inaindha Kaigal

You would have already guessed what I am going to blog about.

M.S.Viswanathan was once requested by Illayaraja to work on some re-recording for a movie. MSV readily obliged. As Kannadasan has mentioned several times, MSV is an innocent person with little ego. Soon the rumor mills started working overtime to declare that MSV has become Illayaraja’s assistant. Both of them got a bit upset and decided to work as peers in one movie and thus “Mella Thirandhadhu Kadavu” was born.

People must play to their strengths. They did. MSV focused on churning out tunes for all the songs (except one) and Illayaraja focused on orchestration. What a musical hit! Every song is special for a reason. My favorite is the apparently the one tuned by Illayaraja.

Do you know which song was tuned by Illayaraja in that movie? Any guess?
