25 Favourite Tamil Songs from 2007

24. Sembaruthi Poo Kanakkaa

Movie: Kanna
Composer: Ranjit Barot
Lyrics: Pulamai Pithan
Singers: Manicka Vinayagam, Vinaya, Mukesh

I first heard the song along with the visuals when it was played on Sun Music channel. I may have liked this song, but wouldn’t have completely embraced it or its structure if I hadn’t seen the visuals of the song. The catchy flute motif, the earthy percussions, the melody and the narrative lyrics which tell a simple familiar story and the picturisation of the song, made this song an instant favourite of mine.
