KOCHI: R.K. Damodaran, poet and lyricist, has protested against absence of names of lyricists and music composers in Ormikkan, Omanikkan, CDs of old light music pieces released by All India Radio from its archival collection. In a statement here on Thursday, Mr. Damodaran said no credit was given to the lyricists and the composers of the 26 songs in the collection. Only the names of the singers were given. He cited the song 'Dwaparayugathinte ... ', sung by Radhika Tilak. The song was written by him and composed by Perumbavoor G. Raveendranath as a State Schools Youth Festival entry for Ms. Thilak in 1989. But neither his name nor that of Mr. Raveedranath was given.
He demanded that the AIR re-release the album giving credits to the lyricists and the composers. Otherwise, steps would be taken after holding consultations with other lyricists and composers regarding the copyrights of the songs, he added.
