Mappila Songs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Mappilapaattu)
Mappila Paattukal or Mappila Songs are folklore Muslim devotional songs in the Malayalam language. These are sung by Muslims (Mappilas) of Malabar.
The first Gramaphone record in Malayalam Language was a Mappila song. In 1925, Gul Mohammed, father of celebrity artist KG Sathar recorded his voice in Gramaphone. Even though millions of Mappila songs were released thereafter on records, only few of them are considered as authentic Mappila Songs.
Mappila songs are composed in colloquial Malayalam and are sung in a distinctive tune. They are composed in a mixture of Malayalam and Arabic and have a special charm of their own. They deal with diverse themes such as religion, love, satire, heroism, etc.

According to the mallu connection -> the kehna hi kya song from Bombay has more Mappila roots than our usual guess of sufism. (Please dont associate manisha koirala dancing with mappila songs - Thats not the case)
who guessed kehna hi kya as sufisim?
Tsk. Tsk.. Piya haji ali is more sufi song..
i would be intersted in listening to them.. if they are as good as kehna hi kya..
t2: he said 'mappila roots', and in any case only certain types of instruments are halal (don't remember which ones), and the version of piya haji ali that I heard sounded pretty commercialized...
I love all of Bombay's songs.
kehna hi kya is my fav...
