+'''Ilaiyaraja'''
+
+
+Prolific Tamil composer with a legendary
+reputation. Born as Daniel Rajayya, the 8th son
+of an estate supervisor in Pannaipuram, TN.
+Joined his stepbrother Varadarajan, a CP
+member, to form a music group, Pavalar
+Brothers, staging live concerts often as election
+propaganda for Left groups. Went to Madras as
+a teenager, where he learnt Western classical
+music and the Western technique of writing
+musical scores. Learnt Carnatic music from
+singer and mridangam performer T.V.
+Gopalakrishnan. Joined films as a member of
+various film orchestras. Sensational début as
+composer in Annakkili, using rural folk
+melodies. Introduced fusion effects into Tamil
+cinema combining Carnatic, Western classical
+and pop (cf. Raja Parvai). Early hits for the
+films of his childhood friend Bharathirajaa
+(Pathinaru Vayathinile). Extensively
+associated with playback singer S.P.
+Balasubramanyam and, for a while, lyricist
+Vairamuthu. Recent music hits notably in
+Mani Rathnam’s films, e.g. Raja rajadhirajan
+indha raja in Agni Nakshatram, followed by
+the songs of Anjali, etc. Commanded fees
+equalling those of the highest-paid actors in
+Tamil and was an independent star attraction
+until he was partially eclipsed by A.R.
+Rehman. Made two independent music
+albums, How to Name It and Nothing but
+Wind, both continuing his fusion experiments,
+as in the composition I Love You, Mozart in
+which he has flautist Hariprasad Chaurasia
+playing the raga Kalyani with a violin
+evocation of Mozart’s 40th Symphony.
+Occasionally provided lyrics and sang his
+compositions. Composed music apparently for
+c.700 films in five languages (the exhaustive
+filmography is virtually impossible to compile).
+Published two books, the European travelogue
+Sangeetha Kanavugal, and Vettaveliyil Kotti
+Kidakkudhu, addressing his philosophical
+preoccupations. In an essay (1996) M.S.S.
+Pandian demonstrates that Ilaiyaraja’s
+popularity represented ‘a moment of great
+anxiety for the musical elite’.
