Kolaveri Senoritas

"What is this Kolaveri Di", is the refrain that is being heard all around the world through initiatives of resident Indian flash mobs. Kolaveri Di is a Tamil nonsense song translated as "Hey Girl Cool Your Rage" composed for a Tamil Film that describes an angry girl who is dumped by her boy friend. The composer uses Tamil slang with English and Hindi words accompanied by various India classical and western music instruments. The song went viral and therefore international, because of its catchy tune and has been sung in different languages by different groups. This video does it in Punjabi. The first dance shown in the YouTube Video, link below, is to the cadence of the song from “Senorita” by Maria del Mar Fernandez a Spanish Flamenco singer who first sang it in the Hindi film “Yeh Zindagi Nahin Dobara (This life is never again) and the second dance is from Kolaveri Di. The flash mob in Madrid which this video shows was led by Miss India, Spain who is an accomplished South Indian classical dancer Vinatha Sreekumar in the short yellow dress. All the other young female dancers are Madridians. Maria del Mar does doing the introduction cameo, bringing in Vinatha who has her own special style. Vinatha says she was inspired by the Kolaveri Di flash mob in Auckland New Zealand also seen separately on You Tube, but she has far excelled her inspiration. The only male dancer is Sourabh Anand who is briefly shown. In addition to the Auckland scene, there are many Kolaveri flash mob dance videos, but the one in Madrid outdoes them all. Maria del Mar very discreetly incorporates her Flamenco moves and Vinatha does the same for her classical dance steps. You have to really watch it a couple of times to see where all that fusion takes place. Flamenco, South Indian classical, and choreographed Punjabi - all to the urban slang and rap beat of a Tamil number.
