Coke Studio Tamil | Daavula Darling| Gaana Ulaganathan x Gaana Vimala

This song of praise, #DaavulaDarling, sung from the perspective of a common man, portrays the chronicles that shine through from the depths of society. Rooted in the northern region of Chennai, the lyrics highlight the nature of relationships and the plethora of ways in which love can blossom in this environment.

Featuring Gaana Ulaganathan, a legend in the Gaana community, truly spearheaded the charge to make the format of ‘Gaana’ mainstream while shining a light on the way of life that one experiences in their own walks of life in the society. He is accompanied by Gaana Vimala, who happens to be the first transgender artist to receive mainstream acclaim in this celebrated format, which is inherently a male-dominated space. They are joined by revered percussionists Sarath and Prem, who are here to provide the song with more depth so that you can dive into the world where it draws inspiration from.

Join us as we explore and celebrate love with our treasured artists.
