Andru Vandadum Ithe Nila - Guitar instrumental cover

A beautiful melody by the inimitable Vishwanathan-Ramamoorthy duo - Andru Vanthatum Idhe Nila (this is the same moon that was in the sky, then). Translations don't work well! Anyway, this song was set to a cha-cha-cha rhythm. The hero of this movie was MGR and the heroine, Saroja Devi.

The cha-cha-cha (also called cha-cha), is a dance of Cuban origin. It is danced to the music of the same name introduced by Cuban composer and violinist Enrique Jorrin in the early 1950s. This rhythm was developed from the danzón-mambo. The name of the dance is an onomatopoeia derived from the shuffling sound of the dancers' feet when they dance two consecutive quick steps (correctly, on the fourth count of each measure) that characterize the dance.
