IT takes 2 to tango for a music album

Hyderabad, Feb 7 (UNI) ValueMinds Solutions Pvt Ltd Founder CEO and CTO Ashwin Palaparti and Chartered Accountant Ranganath Parankusam have come out with a Telugu music album titled 'Nuvvo Kala' (You are a dream).

Music is a passion for Ranganath who candidly says, ''Though I can't sing, I enjoy any pleasing music.

''It so happened during a meeting, I found out Ashwin's passion for music and his melodious compositions. I was so impressed with his multifaceted talents that I became a producer and also an advisor.

''Unlike many private albums in Telugu or remixes, 'Nuvvo Kala is original.'' Ashwin said, ''Music is in my genes. It comes naturally to me. I am a self-taught singer. Music Director Illayaraja, whom I never met, is my inspiration.'' When he is not busy with his profession, Ashwin 'impulsively compose' some tunes. ''My songs are impulsive musical reactions to my friends' experiences, like the song 'Untavani' and 'Gurthunda Gurthunda','' he added.

He also said, ''We picked the best out of the compositions I made while in the US.

''Selecting six tracks for this album has been quite tough, but we have chosen only the best. We have also produced a video which can be seen on www.nuvvokala.com. But, only the audio is available for sale. Video is produced to promote audio on electronic media.'' Harshika, Deepu and Ghazal Singer Vittal Rahul have also crooned some numbers.

Ashwin, who has sung three songs, is the conceiver, music composer/director and lyricist.
