sanjeevbabu interview

Lalitha ganangal by SANJEEV BABU

Akashavani thiruvananthapuram has broadcast a song titled "hemantha ravinte" in its light music programme.The song stands out among the conventional type light music usually we hear from time to time.The monotonous and raw songs usually we hear through the AIR has made the light music programme a boring thing.Sanjeev babu has composed a lot of songs for All India Radio.But the song hemantha ravinte sung by sreekanth and composed by sanjeevbabu has a unique note of identity and melodic beauty. Hats off to All India Radio,Trivandrum for this song which they have kept as the song of the month.

"Engine nee marakkum " at tellisserry

Doordarshan Trivandrum had given the people of tellissery a musical rendezvous with more than fifty songs composed by veteran music director K.Raghavan master.The programme was composed and conducted by none other than sanjeevbabu, the music director who also held the baton of ganaveethi which was one of the best musical programmes of Doordarshan.The singers were Sreekanth,durga viswanath,amritha suresh,kallara gopan and other singer of repute.The programme was named "engane nee marakkum.".The first song on the stage was the nostalgic melody of all the time "engane nee marakkum kuyile"sung by kozhikkode abdul khader in the film neelakkuyil. It was sung by kallara gopan and the audience was uplifted to ecstacy.
The much expected song manjubhashini and karimukil kattile were also hit the stage.

The recording of the programme will be telecast episodewise in the coming months throgh doordarshan malayalam channel shortly.

You are still alive

We walked together in life
people said you're my wife
But is that word enough?
To describe my betterhalf,
I know tears are not enough
To express my pathetic self
And I will keep to myself
The never ending grief
To remember you in my life

Music album by sanjeevbabu

Sanjeevbabu is in the making of his dream project-A music album
There is nothing new about music albums.Every tom dick and harry can make it(That is the inference I came into when I saw some of the albums in the channels.)

SONGS WITH A DIFFERENCE

Sanjeevbabu is thinking of an album with songs which have a message.Not just tracks for rocking like lunatics.his songs will carry nice lyrics which will convey sublime stories. More than that he is trying to bring home a new trend in music which in the western countries had already been rolling.

SAVE MUSIC FROM THE PRESENT SITUATION

In india and particularly kerala popular music is still in the claws of film makers.This is the reason why the songs lack identity.
Music has to be independant and the subjects have to be multifaced.Sanjeevbabu assures that the subjects will be novel and totally different from the present day songs which have only one subject called love and lust.

SONG IDEAS INVITED

sanjeevbabu is expecting music lovers to take part in the making by giving him proper guidance and suggestions regarding selection of subjects and even he is ready to introduce new talents in singing and lyrics.
As he said the album will take upto six months to complete the recording and he is in discussion with marketing companies to take up the project.

Let us hope that the album will culminate a different music culture in the history of malayalam popular music.
