Viral Video: Muqqala Muqabala gets a 'Chenda' twist.

Muqqala Muqqabala is a song that made Prabhu Deva an overnight dancing sensation and an answer for Michael Jackson from India.

The choreography of the song changed the way how songs where choreographed. 

Recently a video went viral where a group of chenda melam players accompanied by brass instruments have recreated the Muqqala energy in this video shared by singer Shweta Mohan on Twitter. The original song written by poet Vaali was performed by singers Mano, Swarnalatha and AR Rahman himself.

The Chenda melam is a traditional percussion musical instrument from Kerala that requires high energy levels to play. The chenda melam is traditionally played during festivals and temple occasions in Kerala. 

The 2.20-minute video shows a group of Chenda melam players taking off after the brass players cue in the “Oyae ohoo… Oyae ohoo!” bit. The chenda players also move in tandem to the beats while a few men in the center can be seen conducting the “Mukkala” symphony.
