Accept it. AR Rahman’s Mukkala Muqabla was every 90’s kids jam. The song is such a massive hit that even till this date you will groove every time you listen to it!
And now, a brass band from Kerala has performed their own rendition of the classic with traditional ‘Chenda Melam’ percussionists, reports The Indian Express. Singer Shweta Mohan took to Twitter to post a video of the entire performance and it’s bound to get anyone hooked! Have a look:
Some songs are evergreen and will make you groove to it even if you ve heard it a 1000 times 💥🥳🥳… A really interesting version of #MuqqalaMuqabala with #Chenda melam and #Brass .. sure @arrahman sir would be happy to see it !! #Chenda #kerala #nativeinstrument pic.twitter.com/AKv3lTDCnx

The guy in a blue shirt dancing was losing his mind and Veshti and dancing. I dont blame him. The tune is contagious and for it to be played on the street like that is even more contagious. https://t.co/Rh7BsJEU7g
