Kolaveri Di: New version by Jerry Stalin of Jaffna

On account of the popularity of Dhanush’s Kolaveri di, many counter versions of Kolaveri Di is releasing day-by-day. The latest is Jerry Stalin’s ‘Yarlpanathilirunthu Kolaverida’, which is receiving a huge popularity among youngsters. S.Jerry Stalin, 28-year-old is an eminent Tamil music composer & director from Jaffna, Sri Lanka. The young music composer and lyricist has put on YouTube a song to counter what he describes as “lust for the blood of Tamil” evident in Dhanush’s Tamil-English Kolaveri. Jerry Stalin wrote and recorded Yarlpanathilirunthu Kolaverida (Bloodlust From Jaffna) to praise the Tamil language and the Tamils’ heritage. The song is written in pure Tamil. Yarlpanathiliriunthu Kolaverida is set to the tune of Dhanush’s Kolaveri, but the lyric conveys the anguish of a young Tamil who sees the Tamil language disappearing in its heartland – Tamil Nadu. Through cleverly-inserted visuals, the video also shows the stress that Tamils are facing in post-war Sri Lanka. The video has gone viral among browsers trapping 1,80,000 hits so far. Earlier, Sonu Nigam’s son Nevaan Nigam made the Milk version, which too became very popular. “The response has been unexpected. People have written to say that the quality of the music and the recording matches that of Dhanush,” Stalin told on Monday. Having studied in St Patrick’s College in Jaffna, Stalin is a computer professional. He works with audio productions & sounde, with CPArts, Kalaithuthu Studios, and SJ Studio AV Pro. He also composes advertising jingles in his spare time. “I am also working on albums of my own compositions,” he said, in his residence-cum-studio in Colombo. The song ends with a call to Jaffna, the ‘home of pure Tamil’, to protect the language. Source:http://truthdive.com/2012/01/11/kolaveri-di-new-version-by-jerry-stalin-of-jaffna.html
