Both the interludes are nice and blends in beautifully!!. Especially the first interlude - guessing it is Cello & guitar is simply superb!. Great singing too !

Fresh and lovely guys... make more :) the interludes were cool!

Słowa Wojciech Majkowski. Muzyka i wykonanie Dariusz Siniarski.

Mamo! Gdziekolwiek jesteś tam,
niech dzień się Tobie dobry święci.
Niech sprawi także dobry Pan,
by kwiaty polne Ci przynieśli.

Chociaż uzbierać mógłbym sam,
to zanieść nijak nie potrafię.
Jeszcze się nie wybieram tam,
gdzie uśmiechnięta czekasz na mnie.

Jednak, gdy przyjdzie taki dzień,
a przyjdzie kiedyś, nieuchronnie,
nie będzie żal mi odejść w cień,
kiedy wyciągniesz ręce do mnie.

Dlatego czekaj na mnie tam,
gdziekolwiek Pan Cię przysposobił.
Po kwiaty polne pójdę sam.
Któż inny za mnie by to zrobił?

An adaptation of Ilayaraja's "En Iniya Pon" from the film Moodu Pani with fellow Raja enthusiast @mediumcoffee . This project is called "Le Rogeur" and the idea was not to do a literal cover but improvise liberally while still retaining the semblance of the original song. Here we take Raja's original harmony/chord structure & use more jazzy variants. The other improv happens in the interludes, where we start out sounding like the original interlude but wander off into different territories. We hope to do a few more of these under the "Le Rogeur" moniker over the next few weeks. And oh, another thing. For this project, in recognition of the technical challenges of Ilayaraja's golden years (the 80s), we will only use real instruments live-recorded without any software programming.
