Santosh Narayanan refers to Enjoy Enjaami as “a collective effort” and claims that he wrote it

Arivu, a singer, writer, and rapper, made claims that he was not given credit for the popular Tamil song Enjoy Enjaami when it was performed live a few days ago at the 44th Chess Olympiad. Music composer Santosh Narayanan has responded to these claims. Arivu revealed his exclusion in an Instagram post on Monday and claimed responsibility for writing, performing, and composing the song.

In a two-page statement responding to Arivu’s accusations, Santosh referred to Enjoy Enjaami as “a team effort.” He continued by saying he wrote the popular song. “Dhee had the idea for a song that praised our heritage and the natural world in December 2020. After that, I co-sang, co-arranged, co-programmed, and recorded Enjoy.

Enjoy Enjaami was composed by Santosh Narayanan, according to the emcee at the Chess Olympiad opening ceremony; Arivu was not even asked to perform. “We decided to have each artist contribute a tune or a verse to the song rather than just having them perform on Enjoy Enjaami. While Dhee and Arivu agreed to sing the song, they both contributed to its conception. Many of her lines’ melodies were co-composed by Dhee and Arivu, who also agreed to write the lyrics. Santosh continued, “I composed the remainder of the tune as well as Arivu’s portions.

Santosh thanked writer-director Manikandan in the statement for “carefully selecting the foundation of the lyrics for this song and spending so many hours with Arivu to create a flow and script for the song lyrics as well as inspiring him with so many real-life stories and cultural history.”

Arivu’s absence from the Enjoy Enjaami performance at the Chess Olympiad, according to Santosh, was due to his being abroad; the organisers were informed of this. The performance included his recording.

“Don’t mix narrow politics into music,” said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin in support of TM Krishna’s Sangita Kalanidhi award.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has endorsed Carnatic vocalist TM Krishna amid protests by several artists against his Sangitha Kalanidhi award.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin congratulated Carnatic vocalist TM Krishna for being selected for the Sangitha Kalanidhi award by The Music Academy, despite protests from several artists who oppose the award. Stalin expressed his appreciation for Krishna’s achievement.

Stalin criticized Krishna for his progressive political views and advocacy for the common man. He criticized Periyar for his fight for human equality and women’s equal rights for three-quarters of a century. Stalin argued that it is unfair to criticize Krishna for his progressive stances and not to unnecessarily lash out at Periyar, who fought for human equality and peace.

The Music Academy management deserves appreciation for recognizing TM Krishna’s contributions to the music industry. Krishna’s talent is undeniable, and he emphasized the need for a broad human vision and the ability to avoid hatred and embrace fellow human beings, rather than mixing narrow politics with religious beliefs.

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader Kanimozhi defended the recognition of carnatic vocalist @tmkrishna as Sangita Kalanidhi by the Music Academy, stating that the hate he is receiving for his social beliefs or his engagement with Periyar is uncalled for.

Several musicians have boycotted Madras Music Academy’s December conference, citing Krishna’s Sangita Kalanidhi award for glorifying Periyar and vilifying the Carnatic music community.

Artists are upset with Chennai-based Madras Music Academy’s decision to bestow Oscar-equivalent honor on 48-year-old vocalist Krishna, who will preside over the 98th annual conference and concerts in December.

Indian classical duo Ranjani and Gayatri have criticized their participation in this year’s conference under TM Krishna’s presidency as a “moral violation.”

The Trichur Brothers, Srikrishna and Ramkumar Mohan, have expressed concerns about their participation in the Academy’s year-end festival conference, claiming it would make them “outright hypocrites.”

Krishna, an economics graduate, was a musical prodigy who began learning music from Bhagavathula Seetharama Sharma, followed by Carnatic vocalist Chingleput Ranganathan and Semmangudi Srinivas.

Krishna, the grandnephew of former Indian finance minister TT Krishnamachari, is a founder of the Madras Music Academy.
