'Isaignani' Ilaiyaraja's daughter Bhavathari, who is a singer herself, plans to celebrate the silver jubilee of the maestro's studio album 'How to Name It? by organizing a world tour to give live performances. Joining the show are singers Ganesh and Kumaresh.


'How to Name It?' released in 1986, was Ilaiyaraja's first instrumental Indian-Western fusion album, a non-film venture.


The album with ten tracks has musical movements that are dedicated to Saint-composer Tyagaraja (1767_1847) and the Western classical music composer J.S. Bach of Germany (1685_1750). One of the ten tracks was based on Johann Bach's works.


Announcing her plan through her micro-blogging page, Bhavatharini has invited ideas from fans and her brothers Yuvan and Karthick Raja and cousins Venkat Prabhu and Premgi. Sure, it will be a reverential tribute to the Isaignani.
