- njangal undu koode!



[teencoolguy]

Awesome!!! they rock just like d dish... one of my fav Indian bands... superb vocals, rockin bass.. I dont understand d animosity in ppl though... just enjoy d music. if u dont like it den suit urself.. y dis hatred towards ppl who made it and where dey come from??

[feenux123]

can some mallu friends please translate this? I know the song talks about the rains, but thats all i can figure out.

[saretlt]

hey man,, plz dont compare avial wit metallica or pink floyd... coz,, no one can evr cover nothing else matters or coming back to lyf... avial s jst a band,, bt metallica nd pink floyd r two distinct relegions... :)

[AlbinJi]

Look at the Like and Dislike bar! It's like a green pencil with a small red tip!

[aaditya91]

@AlbinJi More like a nicely rolled joint that's just been lit ;)

[mrbaritones]

bring back anand. hes just mindblowing. the bassist is natures freak

[MaNg0treEe]

you are listening to india's No.1 band!!!

[mayattokjerry]

@confu5edfella I am proud of you dude....

[95silverlight]

the chorus at 2:46 is just damn gud

[anonyar]

Superb... now we need not just stick to massive attack,mettalica,nin as these songs are perfect in all sence

[hotchica18]

@anonyar the fact that you mentioned massive attack makes you awesome. :D

[rajilmon]

superrrr

[Swayambass]

The bassist featuring in the video is

Naresh Kamath...in dis song he is using

a 5 stringd Yamaha TRB.... But He no more plays for Avial....

He also plays for Kailasa , and Hipnotribe...

He was jus' a guest member for Avial then...

Avial's current bassist is Binny Isaac...

He uses a Ibanez GSR 6 stringd bass...

In dis song backup traks r used , whch

featrs d rhythm guitars....

Infact in al der songs they use bckup traks... :)

[jalexrosh]

Avial is like a chair with three legs without Anandraj Benjamin Paul! :(

[confu5edfella]

Bass!!!!!! Fuck!!!! \mmmm/

[lastgoodid]

I don't get it.... Who's the bassist?? One guy's playing rhythm, the other's on lead..... And both guitars have 6 strings..... Where's the bass?? I can hear it but not see

[amal2345]

@lastgoodid no man actually , the black guitar is a 5 string bass ! nd that dude is the former bassist of avial ! its a new guy now !

[asomification]

thakadara thakadimi dara thakadimi dara thakadimi thoo

thakadara thakadimi dara thakadimi dara thakadimi thoo..:):))!

[rahulfsd]

Seriously good stuff..

wish something similar happens in hindi soon..

[confu5edfella]

@entoity I disagree with you man! It doesn't matter what language, as long as it's good music. I would have enjoyed this song even if it was in Oriya or Bengali.

And I feel sorry for your "Fuck Hindi" attitude... it's because of a few people like you, our country is going to the dogs... I mean, come on! we are a very diverse country, we all need some space. We need to appreciate (not abuse) each other. "Fuck Hindi", "Fuck South Indians", are we ever gonna stop?

PS - I'm pure blood Mallu

[hannan29]

@confu5edfella Totally agree !

From Maharashtra.

[anandboyzable]

hey it is similar to thakathara...................b­ut i looovee this sangg

[mwmetal1]

@anandboyzable maan..this is thakathara..!!!

[hakadushblue]

Naresh Kamath.

Plays with Kailash Kher!

[dileepraman]

Guys the world needs to know the brilliance of the band Avial ...and what better place to spread the word than youtube...If you want to contribute this great music to the world, please copy and paste this to all the roock videos you see....let the word be rocked....

[mrbaritones]

the bassist and the singer are psychos! awesomeness!!!!!!!!1 bravo

[amaljohnrobin]

awesome ...............

[roshanravi]

I am trying to translate it as best as I can. Even though I speak the language it is too damn hard to understand this because the words are from folk songs. however, I will try to give the basic idea of the song.

The words Theyyam Tharo, Thaka Tharo, Thara Thaka Thimi Thom etc. don't mean any thing, i think. if it does.. i don't know.

[roshanravi]

@roshanravi

Chathan is a name of a male, Neeli is a name of a Female (they are probably husband and wife in the song)

Checkel adikkum munpe

Chempattu Veeshum Munpe

before the sunset,

Before the sky turned red,

Chathan and Neeli went to the Thambran's (landlord's) gate

They are devastated (I guess, because no job. don't really know the meaning of the words)

[roshanravi]

@roshanravi Maadathil enthundu Kaachi kudikkanaayi

Anthikkedi kidaa thee..

What is there in the hut to eat and drink, this evening ?

Eeyaandi kazhcha ille

(Kazhcha is what the farmer give to the landlord for using his land)

There is no Kazcha for the landlord this week.

[roshanravi]

@roshanravi

Ikkollam Onam Vanne

Onam came this year too

(Onam - Festival of harvest in Kerala, India)

kaali mala thara thambran kudi mala

thedi nada kollane

(I don't really know what they mean.. but i guess it is the request to the landlord to help them.)

[roshanravi]

@roshanravi Putteelurumbariche (someone please help me with this and correct me if I am wrong.) Puttu is a kind of food. so, i guess the words mean there is ants in the food (?) Vatti Valam Pirinje (Vatti is where the poor farmers keep their rice and food items.) their Vatti has damaged Kannodu kannilum chutti nadanne.. Vekkam nada nadanne looked around everywhere and walked away real fast (could be the landlord or the farmers.. don't really know)

[jalexrosh]

@roshanravi Puttilurumbarichey means- puttu(a food made out of steaming powdered rice and coconut scrapes) has been eaten away by ants. In Kerala,food that has been eaten away by ants is a considered unfortunate.

[roshanravi]

@roshanravi

Anyway, I guess the basic idea of the song is of a poor farmer's fate. Onam (the festival) is near.. yet they weren't able to make any money or food. They are indebted to the landlord and they don't even have the food to eat that evening..

[MrPlanetshaker]

[capl1]

hey, this aint so bad!

im an australian teen, and this stuff could really make some news down here!

(avial) should consider doing some gigs or maybe some festivals, they could make a bit of money!

keep up the good work dudes

[jalexrosh]

@capl1 They are not after money,they love to rock and thats it! Most of their songs mean about the good ol'times in Kerala and what is happening now,the environmental issues and materialism of people.

[capl1]

@jalexrosh

Thanks for the reply. I truly admire this group. By the way somehow, someone has changed my comments.For instance-I am not a teen (wish I were) and I had not mentioned money. All the same, thank you.

[jalexrosh]

@capl1 No problem. And its a pleasure to be from their state.

[capl1]

@capl1 test

[joshjess]

[cellooommen2000]

hey anyone wat tv station is it recorded from!?!?! i cant make out the logo??

[nitinsunny]

its a channel called 'rosebowl'. available only in erala i guess

[mwmetal1]

@nitinsunny yea..its a good channel...promotes all rock bands from kerala...and plays death metal songs after 12..what more can u ask.??..

[glenndsouza9]

these guys are really good.... They remind me of INCUBUS!

[psykojello]

That thought crossed my mind too :) must be because of the turntable...

[spiritualpie]

The album will release on 8th February. It will be available at all major music stores across India.

Also, look out for the new video of Nada Nada on TV and Online.

[shermandesouza]

any chance it will be available to buy online? i live in canada and would love to get my hands on a copy. the guys at work who listen to a lot of porcupine tree loved this band!

[roshraw]

are you guys trying to make this popular , you guys should market it aggressively i know you guys did this in kochi. you should do more. streets and stuff make progressive Malayalam music popular. Trust me kerala is all tired of hearing the same melodies. And your Lyrics should aggressive and should talk about social and political situation and stand with goodness and common man. against stupid politics which is killing kerala Inch by inch. voice of the kerala's young generations."John lennon"

[shermandesouza]

best thing to come out of india ever! musicianship is incredible. I have always admired Naresh as a bass player. loved his work with Bombay Black. I actually mixed them at bishop cotton school with Mike Furtado for a concert.

rock on dudes! when is the album out? cant wait to buy it.

[morespice]

exciting...its feels like hearing metallica all over again for the first time...amazing lyrics...great bass...great vocals...brilliant stick work..can we ask for more ???...good job....god bless

[ojit1979]

Metallica!! I wonder how. Sounds more like indigenous Dream Theater. This is alternative/ progressive stuff, dude. Metallica is one of my fav bands but they ( Avial) dont sound like them. Wrong comparison :)

[jineeshpr]

Excellent.Outstanding. No words to describe.

These guys have great knowledge about rock music.

Mallu rock rulez

[pke1mlore]
