There should be more Carnatic songs in Tamil, says Minister Durai Murugan

Music is that which integrates and gives peace to the mind, said Durai Murugan, Minister for Public Works, reports The Hindu.

"Expressing regret that the crowd coming to listen to Indian claslsical Carnatic music was dwindling, he said that the reason was that music had not been simplified and taken to the masses.

"There must be more songs in Tamil," the Minister said, pointing out that music first has to attract people. A CD titled A Meeting of Minds was released on the occasion and Carnatic ringtones were also launched by the Minister.

Dialling the number he placed the mobile near the microphone and enabled the audience to listen to a piece of Asai Mugam Marandu Poche by Rukmini Rajagopalan.
