Born and brought up in an obscure village near Kambam in Southern Tamil Nadu, Ilayaraja became the first Asian to score a symphony for the London Philharmonic Orchestra, besides scoring over feature films. Raja, as he is popularly known and affectionately called, comes from a family of musicians.
He won a gold medal from London's Trinity College in the guitar category. His notable works include Nayagan (1987) (his 400th film) and Anjali (1990) (his 500th film). His other musical works include "Nothing But the Wind," "How to Name It," and "Singing Skylarks." He also invented a new Carnatic raga known as Panchamukhi.
A separate blog is getting ready for launching about the details of ILAYARAJA....! Keep Watching
