There is a story of personal significance behind this song of mine. Back in the early 90s when I was struggling to make a mark in the Chennai Carnatic world, a friend of mine suggested that I sing the song - Thandai Thai Irundal - originally sung by the diva N. C. Vasanthakokilam, at my concert that year. However, after listening to it, I was so daunted by it that I was convinced I wouldn't match up to the tremendous articulation and power that you experience in N. C. Vasanthakokilam's version.

Carnatic singer Aruna Sairam takes us on a musical journey like never before, and netizens are loving the "classical rap." #carnatic #music #classical #rap #viral | Jist
