September 5, 2012, Mumbai: Reliance
Broadcast Network Limited’s intellectual property vertical BIG Live and its
radio arm 92.7 BIG FM winner of the
Golden Mikes’ Broadcaster of the Year, announced that the BIG Marathi Music Awards 2012, the most definitive recognition
platform of the Marathi Music Industry, is all set to kick off its 2nd
edition. BIG Marathi Music Awards provides a unified platform to recognize the
indigenous musical talent and lend national recognition to some of the best
Marathi music and musicians across genres. This
year, BIG Marathi Music Awards has included new categories such as the Best Violinist
and Best music Arranger, among a total of 17 categories.
The
eminent jury panel for these awards include veteran musicians Padmaja Fenani, playback singer Sudesh Bhonsle and the multifaceted
Marathi poet, lyricist, script writer, actor and playwright Guru Thakur.
Speaking
on the occasion, BMMA jury member Sudesh Bhonsle said, “I am in awe and
humbled by the responsibility that BMMA has bestowed upon me. I have always
wanted to do my part for my Industry and encourage new talent and I cannot
think of a better platform in India today, to do so. It is indeed a privilege
to be a part of these prestigious awards.”
With an aim to salute and encourage different aspects of
music production BMMA has decided to incorporate two new categories that are usually
not part of many award functions. One of these is the Best Violinist category, though
every instrument has its place in this industry the violin hold a very special
position. The violin track in any movie is what gives a song its soul and feel,
no film song will be what it is without the violin track. Violins are important
in the background score as well where it help brings alive a particular scene
in a movie.
The other category is that of the Best Music Arranger, whose primary role is to arrange music
based on the needs or requirements of a performer, a group of performers, a
conductor, or music director. It is the arranger’s responsibility to make sure
that every aspect of a music piece is well harmonized, from the instruments
down to the tempo. It is the music arranger who takes
the work of the composer and arranges it into a score form for the ensemble to
play.
BMMA will be the platform which honor these unsung heroes on
the music world
