‘Aangall’ – A Tamil Retro Version
The source of inspiration for this song challenge is the iconic German song titled Männer by Herbert Grönemeyer, asking
What makes a man a man?
This song has been sung widely in German parties since its release in 1984.
‘Men buy women, rough on the outside, soft on the inside’ doesn’t seem to be from another era, but still resonates even today.
A Tamil retro-version of the Original song will be the ‘curtain raiser / cover song’ which we hope will open discussions and invite young musicians to respond in whichever way they feel appropriate and inspired by the Tamil-version of the German-original. The Tamil Cover-song of the German original has been composed and rendered by playback singer Anand Aravindakshan.
