Munbe Vaa En Anbe Vaa - Tamizh Duet Cover With Dr. Bijayshree Samal
Munbe Vaa En Anbe Vaa - Tam... Lyrics & Chords
Abouth a month or so ago, our highly talented and gifted vocalist, Dr. Bijayshree Samal (Shree), came up with a great suggestion to do a Tamizh duet, Munbe Vaa, a beautiful romantic song from the movie Sillunu Oru Kaadhal with music composed by maestro A R Rahman.
I am delighted to say this turned out to be a memorable experience for us.
Shree brought out the subtle nuances of the song very well with her beautiful voice and expressions. Given that Tamizh is not her mother tongue, I specially felt this was commendable.
I very much enjoyed working with her on this.
Here’s a write up from Bijayshree that she wanted me to share on this post :
“Music is so important. It changes thinking, it influences everybody, whether they know it or not. Music knows no boundary lines.” -Irving Berlin
For many of us, the lyric of a song is very important for emoting the song’s actual spirit, but there are songs that do not really need any translation, because the music speaks for itself. I remember as a child I was exposed to a variety of music, most of them are in Hindi, Oriya, & Bangla. The first ever Tamil song I actually heard was years back when the original Roja movie released. My cousin brother gifted me the album. I was instantly taken by the melody, the instruments, the vocals, even if I didn’t understand a word of the song. I became a great fan of A R Rehman. Me & my didi used to sing Chinna china asai every now & then without even knowing or caring about the meaning.
Munbe Vaa En Anbe Vaa is a song very close to my heart. I am so happy to record this one with Mr Shreedhar Ganapathy whom I really respect a lot as a good human being & as a very talented artist. Starting from suggesting a good microphone to taking care of the mixing part, he did it all.
A Big Thank you Shreedharji. It is a wonderful experience working with you.
This song needs no introduction as it is from the great music maestro A R Rehman. However, this is my first Tamil song here at Muziboo.
I will appreciate & welcome any feed back from all of you.

Nice! great performance by both of you. I haven’t heard the original, but this is the kind of tune and composition with the current generation trend. Shreedhar – you are ready to take on Tamil Playback singing – I mean it.

Beautiful rendition of this popular tamil melody….Bijayshree, I know that you are a trained vocalist, but to sing a tamil song for an Oryan….is itself such a tough thing….so kudos to your excellent attempt.
Shreedhar bro….loved your rendition in your deep voice…in your own style and voice….nice to see you sing tamil songs….excellent stuff.
Harmonies were very well done ……………to my favourites.

Wow, beautiful rendition by both of you, Shreedhar & Bijayashree. In my opinion, this is a very very tough song to do justice. Shreya’s singing is mind blowing in this. Both of you performed excellently.
Special kudos to Bijayashree for doing so well in language she is unfamiliar with :))

As if the loving verses were etched on to a large rock atop which flows an incessant slow stream from two sources, intermittently revealing and obscuring the loving poem.
Bijayashree and Sreedhar … streamy flow by both of you with enviable tonal and singing qualities. Expression was good, albeit with some understandable diction-tortion (invented word!).
The spirit of the song was superbly upheld by your both your good vocals. The mixing and mastering was of top quality for a cover presentation … probably one of, if not the the best I have heard over here.
Lovely and you guys sounded wonderful.

Awesome & excellent. Great team and glad you both connected and did this project! Bijayshree – not knowing tamil (like the original singer)this performance is that much more praiseworthy. awesome talent and the hindustani music foundation shows – the delivery has come as close & perfect to the original – to all others that I have heard so far. Well done. Shreedhar man, welcome – good to hear you cross the vindhyas and sing tamil after probably a long time. Keep those coming…. Congrats!

Shreedhar Ji and Bijayashree, Kudos for the song pick first:) Overall it was fantastic.
Shreedhar Ji:) – Lovely singing. At places feel could have been slightly better. But no complaints at all:)
Bijayashree – Could see that you are trained. This song is tough and you did very well. At places your breath control was amazing but at few places, u faltered a bit. But that’s no biggie:) keeping in mind the whole song:) you did exceptionally well.
Mixing was great for Shreedhar Ji’s parts but Bijayashree’s voice could get a little more upfront with EQ:) But again, no major complaints:) Harmonies wer done very well too.
Keep it up guys.

Beautifully sung Bijayashree and Shreedhar. Both of you did great.
Special kudos to Bijayshree for attempting a Tamil song, you did very well with diction for a maiden attempt. The last alaap was very well done too.
Shreedhar, loved your take on this song. Only nitpik would be the harmonies, thought it could be more subtle/subdued in the mix.
