Скачать или смотреть Lady Kash – Villupaattu (The Live Orchestral Version) – Official Music Video | The Bow Song

Where rap bows to heritage. Villupaattu (The Bow Song) returns. Tearing out from beneath the music industry’s surface of conformities and polished stylings, Villupaattu (The Live Orchestral Version) rises unapologetically — raw, real and regally resolute — wielding only true stories.

In this first-of-its-kind genre-bender, rap meets live orchestra with zero hip-hop beats. Recorded in Skopje, Macedonia, this stimulating record echoes culture and unifies South-Indian roots with epic Western classical.

In a black expanse of saffron tones, Lady Kash delivers her boldest performance yet, channeling centuries of storytelling and anchoring ancient tradition as statuesque female dancers — worn, cracked, yet unyielding — haunt beneath suspended roots and amidst a golden Villu (bow).

Legacy glimpses of Poongani, the legendary Villupaattu matriarch highlighted in the 2018 release, opens and closes the video as the trailblazers mirror one another in the evolution of rap, across eras.

SONG LYRICS (TRANSLITERATED IN ENGLISH)
This is crazy
I can’t believe this moment
I said it before
That Villupaattu is the Eastern seed of Rap aka. Sollisai
The glory
Of our ancient storytelling artform
May this live on
Generations and generations to come
Keeping the legacy of Poongani Amma alive
When I told this story
The world listened
(Thanthanathom endru solliyae)
Now, we make it a legacy
(Villinnil paada vantharuvaai Kalai-Magalae)
This is Villupaattu
The Orchestral Version
(Thanthanathom endru solliyae)
Raise the black flag
(Villinnil paada vantharuvaai Kalai-Magalae)

Let me take you back
Back when I was born
Now I’m better known as Rap
But I had another name in another part of the world
So listen to me as I re-introduce you
To my rhythm and poetic roots
Let me take you back
Back, back to Thamizh Rap
So kick back, listen
Listen to this track
I’ma tell you how a war weapon was the base of a musical form
So close to my heart
That it’s been tattered and torn
But stitched back and worn
Worn like a crown
Raps’ made its rounds
So baby turn up the sound
So baby turn up the sound
