This post has come in place due to my confusion or dilemma ...
We all love to be part of live concerts. Nice auditorium, so many fans, orchestra etc... Finally, the singer or the main performer splits the concert into two. Some songs he wish to sing and some songs which fans fell in love with...
Every performer has got his set of hit songs... Fans to are asking for it, gets obliged.. Example - Aruna Sairam - Maadu meikkum, Pankaj Udhas - Chandi jaisa, jiyo to jiye ...
My point of confusion goes like this...
1. If we wish to listen to only some 10 songs from every singer... why dont we listen in CD, sitting in our comfy bean bag with chips & coffee ?
2. Are we afraid of experimentation of some new techniques or raga ?
3. or Is that we are being tuned to "herd mentality" ?
Do respond with your views...
This is question that goes thru my mind after every concert.....
ReplyDeleteYes, it does feel nice to listen to familiar songs, but i would also like to hear new unheard tracks... that is more exciting... :) very few bands and singers actually sing new stuff...
