Aptly nicknamed “Isaignani” or musical genius, Ilaiyaraaja is a musician, orchestrator, lyricist, and singer extraordinaire. One of the finest composers in India, composing and orchestrating background scores with western classical harmonies and string arrangements made his style unique. With more than 8000 songs to his credit and still counting, Ilaiyaraja arranged background scores with crisp interludes long before the digital age of music.
Ae Zindagi Gale Laga le - the beautiful song from the recent movie Dear Zindagi was a retake by Amit Trivedi of the iconic Aye Zindagi song by Suresh Wadkar and Ilaiyaraaja from the movie Sadma. Vi users can listen to all the top Ilaiyaraaja songs in the Vi App through Hungama Music.
