Coke Studio Tamil | Oh Hoi | Benny Dayal x Mullai Kalai Kuzhu

‘Oh hoi’- the story of two contrasts, two realities and two ways of life. The cities, towering with their skyscrapers and pace and the villages, still living in harmony with nature. ‘Oh Hoi’ embodies the coming together of both these ways of life to represent and celebrate the rich cultural diversity of Tamil Nadu.

‪@BennyDayalOfficial‬'s electric pop beats represent the rush and energy of the city way of life while the traditional and rustic chants and horns of the Mullai Kalai Kuzhu represents the ‘Irula’ community. This fusion is just another example of peaceful co-existence of two different ways of life.

நகரம் ஒருவித அழகென்றால், கிராமம் ஒருவித அழகு! இந்த இரண்டையும் ஒன்றாக கொண்டாடும் பாடலே 'ஓ ஹோய்'. பரபரப்பும், கட்டிடங்களும் நிறைந்த நகர வாழ்க்கையும், அமைதியும், இயற்கையும் கலந்த கிராம வாழ்க்கையும் ஒன்றோடு ஒன்றாக கலந்த தமிழ்நாட்டின் கலாச்சார வேற்றுமையை அழகாய் போற்றுவதே இந்தப் பாடல்.

நகரத்தின் vibe'ku பென்னி தயாளின் பாப் இசையும், கிராமத்தின் vibe'ku தனித்துவமான கருவிகள் கொண்ட இருளர்களின் பாரம்பரிய இசையைக் கொடுக்க, முல்லை கலைக் குழுவும் கைகோர்க்கும் இந்தப் பாடலின் வழியே, வாழ்க்கைமுறைகள் மாறினாலும் 'யாதும் ஊரே யாவரும் கேளீர்' என்பதை
கொண்டாடத் தயாராகுங்க மக்களே!
