Hi
http://216.67.243.42/~rnanusha/songs/index.php?a=A+R+Rahman&t=Alai+Payuthae&l=2
In the above link, 24secs into the 6th track(Tamilurban.com - Pachchai
Nirame), the music sounds so familiar to a classical music that I have
listened to somewhere. Would appreciate it if anyone is able to
identify it and let me know if it resembles any classical music.
Thanks,
Tara Singh
