ENERGETIC CHENDA MELAM AND DANCE IN SHEETAL MARRIAGE

ENERGETIC CHENDA MELAM AND DANCE IN SHEETAL MARRIAGE Hello viewers welcome to my channel Gani Extreme. Today witnessed Kerala special Chanda melam in Waltair Polamamba Ammavari Festival Visakhapatnam. "Chenda Melam" means percussion using Chenda. The Chenda is used as a percussion instrument for almost all Kerala art forms like Kathakali, Kodiyattam, Theyyam etc. Chenda melam is the most popular form in Kerala, for more than 300 years. A Chenda melam is an integral part of all festivals in Kerala. There are 7 types of "melangal" viz Panchari melam, Champa, Chempada, Adantha, Anchadatha, Druvam and Pandi melam. The earlier 6 melams are called "Chempada melangal". Other than these seven "melams" two more melams are there in Kerala "Navam" and "Kalpam". The "Chenda Vattam" or the skin used on Chenda should be very thin for classic Chenda Melam like Panchari melam, Pandi Melam or for Thayambaka but for Shingari Melam Chenda the "Chenda Vattam" are hard, which are very cheap to make. "Shingari Melam" is not considered as a classical form of art. Chenda is taught in a traditional way, the students have to practice on a stone or wood using a strong and thick stick usually made of tamarind tree bark. The learning stick would be 29 cm in length, 3 cm in diameter on one side and 2.5 cm on other side of the stick. Once the learning on stone is finished, students learn on Veekku Chenda or the Valam Thala (വലം part of the Chenda which is made of multiple layer of skin. The "Valam Thala Chenda" is played using a long and thin stick. Once the students master to play on "Valam Thala Chenda", the students start learning on the Uruttu Chenda (ഉര്രുട്ട് ചെണ്ട) or the Edam Thala (ഇടം തല) part of the Chenda which will have only one layer of skin. While striking on a Chenda with two sticks, the stick on the right hand is hit on the upper part (little above the center part) of the "Chenda Vattam" and the stick on the left hand is hit on the lower part (little below the center) of the "Chenda Vattam". In Kerala a traditional Chenda learning always start and end with a "Ganapathi Kai", it is a prayer and dedication done to the Hindu god Ganapathi. ******************************************* 🕰️Time Stamps 🕰️ 00:00 intro Melam 00:10 Melam and dance start 00:30 Music 08:32 Melam complete ******************************************* ********************************************* Gani Extreme 007 channel please like share and subscribe / @Ganesh_Kumar007 other social sites ♂️instagram -https://instagram://gani_extreme_007 ♂️facebook   / ganesh   Kumar A S ♂️Youtube-   / @ganesh_kumar007   ♂️Email Get in touch asg.12203@gmail.com ******************************************* Subscribe to our channel:- make sure to enable All push notifications 🔔 ******************************************** Production credit: GANI EXTREME 007 Edited by: GANI EXTREME 007 Filmed by: GANI EXTREME 007 Produced by: GANI EXTREME 007 ******************************************* ******************************************* video title : ENERGETIC CHENDA MELAM AND DANCE IN SHEETAL MARRIAGE video link :    • ENERGETIC CHENDA MELAM  AND DANCE IN SHEET...   Playlist: Events, ALL VIDEOS, SIMHACHALAM KALYANOTSAVAM ******************************************** ******************************************** 🙏our other video🙏 Title: శ్రీ లక్మీ నరసింహ స్వామి దేవాలయం || మంగళగిరి || గుంటూరు Link:    • శ్రీ లక్మీ నరసింహ స్వామి దేవాలయం || మంగళగి...   • శ్రీ లక్మీ నరసింహ స్వామి దేవాలయం...
