Is Anbae anbae a qawwali ?
I've always wondered about the genre of the song " Anbae Anbae " from jeans, every time i hear. One question comes right to my mind as i hit the play button...Is this a qawwali..???
Again if we are to apply the traditional scales, we have to reject the question but if we take contemporary examples, we may conclude it as a filmi qawwali.
The song meets the major requirement, One emphasized context on which the song should evolve. The singer's appetence towards his girl is the main nucleus on which the song's built upon. Much like the qawwali "sanu ik pal chain na aawe" by Nusratji which is about the seperation of the protagonist from his beloved
Lyrics of the song:
" Anbe Anbe Kollathey Kannae Kannaik Killaathaey
Pennae Punnagaiyil Idhayathai Vedikaathaey
Aiyoa Unnasaivil Uyirai Kudikaathaey
(Anbe…)
Pennae Unathu Mellidai Paartaen Adadaa Bhramman Kanjanadi
Satrae Nimirndaen Thalai Sutri Poanaen Aahaa Avanae Vallaladi
Minnalai Pidithu Thoorigai Samaiththu Ravivarman Ezhuthiya Vadhanamadi
Nooradi Palikai Aaradiyaakki Sirpigal Sethukkiya Uruvamadi
Idhuvarai Mannil Pirandha Pennil Neethaan Neethaan Azhagiyadi
Ithanai Azhagum Motham Serndhu Ennai Vadaippadhu Kodumaiyadi
(Anbe…)
Koduthu Vaitha Poovae Poovae Aval Koondhal Manam Solvaayaa
Koduthu Vaitha Nadhiyae Nadhiyae Aval Kuliththa Sugam Solvaayaa
Koduthu Vaitha Kolusae Kolusae Kaalalavaich solvaayaa
Koduthu Vaitha Maniyae Maarazhagaich solvaayaa
Azhagiya Nilavil Oxygen Nirappi Angae Unakkoru Veedu seivaen
Unnuyir Kaaka ennuyir Kondu Uyirukku Uyiraai Uraiyiduvaen
Maegathai Pidiththu Methai Amaithu Melliya Poo Unnaith Thoonga Vaippaen
Thookkathil Maadhu Vaerkkinra Poathu Natchathiram Kondu Naan Thudaippaen
Paal Vannap Paravai Kulippatharkaaga Panithuliyellaam saegaripaen
Thaevathai Kulitha Thuligalai Alli Theertham enrae Naan Kudippaen
(Anbe…)"
Ar rahman and Vairamuthu #101
One of the Tamil Film Music Industry's long standing partnership is that of Arr and Vairamuthu. From Kadhal Rojave to Nenjukkule ( Kadal ), their partnership is been inspiring. I relive memories listening to their combo almost all the times.
From now on , in addition to the series of Ar Rahman qawwali's, i'm thinking of starting a new series - Ar rahman Vairamuthu partnership..
As the starting post, i thought to throw some light on vairamuthu's use of the word " Chiyaan " in A.R. Rahman's songs..
The most famous use being the " Chiyan kaata thondi partha semman ootru ratham than" from kodu potta song in Ravanan movie. In one media conference he had clarified his use of the word for the justification of the context and not for the lead role ( Vikram ) of the movie.
Interestingly, He had already used the same word with another context almost thirteen years ago in one evergreen album of Arr. Thirupaachi aruvala song from the movie " Taj Mahal ", has the earliest use of the word " Chiyan" . Lines go like this,
" engooru pombalaiya moappamida vandhavana enga seeyan mookka aruththaaga "
