Dear Friends !
my to days pick is "Charukesi ' arare Raga belonging to the Karnatic music style that has been intelligently invested in Bollywood music by the music composers.They projected a different facet of the raga adding new colours.
Charukesi is ar aga that combines both Hindusthani and Karnatic notes i.e the 1st part of it's Arohan(ascending notes)i.e Sa-re ga-ma have been derived from Rag ; Bilaval ,which haas been considered to be a North Indian Rag and the second part of Avarohana i.e pa-dha-ni derived form Todi raga belonging to South Indian music style.
The only classical composition available in Karnatic classical music is Tyagaraja's ''Aada modi gladaa Raamayya'' this song has been aptly composed in Rag; Charukesi since the situation of the song is the meeting between Rama,a north Inidan and Hanuman,a south Indian.
As far as my memory goes, this Raga has been 1st used by the music composer duo Lakshmikant pyarelaal for Rajshree productions movie ''Dosti''.They have composed a pathos song rendered by Rafi which was an ever green melody.
It is a coincidence that again for the same Rajshri productions the music director Ravindara jain
has composed a hanting melody ''Shayam tere bansi'' for the film ''Geet gaataa chal''
The composer duo Shankar -Jaikishan used this raga for composinga pathos song composed for the film Aarjoo.
Another bollywood hit song composed in Rag is from the film'' Raz'' rendered by Md.rafi and also by lataji
The Telugu song which I like most is a film song composed for ''Sirisampadalu'' by Master Venu.
