The site MysticSwara is dedicated to the history and aesthetic criticism of the
evergreen songs.
We concentrate on the Malayalam film songs. It is a non-profit free web site.
It is a medium to present the composers who are generally ignored in Kerala.
The gems of Malayalam songs are presented here, but do not expect us to float rules
by making these audible here at present. No download is provided in this site. At
present, let us share the feelings about these songs.
Let us give the room only for the evergreen songs that have stood the test of time.
The new songs which are likely to be forgotten soon may be avoided. There is no
meaning in remembering the old ineffective songs also. It will not be a site of
statistical information. So this site is meant to provide such analytical information
of good songs only.
When the search was made for history and information on the Malayalam songs years ago, it was
found to be scattered over many sites most of which were in interactive sites containing
undesirable comments. The sites dedicated to Malayalam film music were not really
found. But it was seen that there are many who yearn to enjoy and discuss the old
songs. It was decided to host such site when there would be money and time. Years
passed and such a time didn’t come. So it has been decided to host such a web site
so that the interested persons can carry it forward.
It is seen that the old songs are still remembered and the new songs naturally are
played repeatedly. But the songs between these two times are considered not so good
and ignored. This causes many great songs to be ignored. The site plans to revive
those forgotten good songs.
The visitors to the site may please give as much help as possible. Information and
your views on the particular songs you like may please be sent by email. Those who
are skilled in classical music may also please give the raga, swaras etc. which
may be helpful to the instrumentalists.
The information in this site is mostly taken from the memory of reading these. Though
crosschecked with the periodicals and books, it may not be exact. We are in no way
responsible for the consequences of using this information.
The opinions expressed in this site are just opinions not meant to be controversial.
It can be hoped that the site may grow to be the final word on Malayalam film music
enjoyment, including broadcasting.
