Spreading the festive spirit in the hearts of Malayalis on the dawn of Chingam, the new Onam song album ‘Chingatheeru’ has been released. The album was released through the YouTube channel ‘Western Hills Media’. Written by Sudheeran Prayar, the beautiful lyrics have been set to tune by Venu Anchal. The songs have been rendered by Dr. Nithin Soman and Sreekutty Prashanth, with music composition and orchestration handled by Sabari Haridas.
The album beautifully captures the month of Chingam-a symbol of prosperity and abundance-along with the Onam festivities through its lyrics and melody. Brimming with rural charm, the excitement of the boat race in Punnamada Lake, and the beauty of the twilight sky, the song offers listeners a rich visual and auditory experience.
Onam Sights Overflowing with Natural Beauty and Tradition
The song ‘Chingatheeru’ exquisitely portrays the goodness of Kerala’s village life and the arrival of the Onam season.
Right from the opening lines
“Chingamasathereyri, ponnonam vannethi, chillu mani manjaal poompulariyorungi…”
The lyricist successfully conveys the morning mist of Chingam and the spring of floral carpets to the listeners.
In the subsequent lines, the thrill of the boat race over the backwater waves, memories of harvest songs, and the traditional imagery of Onathappan arriving with a palm-leaf umbrella impart an authentic cultural feel to the song. Venu Anchal’s simple yet melodic tune combined with Sabari Haridas’s orchestration enhances the charm of the track. The clear and melodious rendition by Dr. Nithin Soman and Sreekutty Prashanth turns the song into a memorable experience that evokes fond Onam memories in the minds of listeners.
