The Indian community paid rich tributes to noted Mappilappattu singer and Kerala Folklore Akademi vice chairman Eranholi Moosa, who passed away in the Indian state of Kerala recently.
Moosa was a frequent visitor to Doha and a crowd puller at many cultural programmes for many years.
The death of Moosa has saddened Mappilappattu lovers across the world. Endearingly called Moosakka, he was unquestionably the number one singer of the modern Mappilappattu era.
Sociocultural organisations of the Kerala expatriate community organised music programmers focused on the melodious songs popularised by Moosa.
Speaking to Qatar Tribune, President of Indian Cultural Centre AP Manikantan said, “Moosakka played a vital role in making Mappilappattu popular among the expatriate community. His style of singing touched the people and made him popular even among young generation singers. His style made him distinct among Mappilappattu singers in Kerala. Moosa was also known for his simplicity and the support he offered to young singers.”
Moosa’s rendition of Manikya Malaraya Poovi, Mihraj Raavile Kaatte and songs like Misrile Raajan, Thaif Nagari, Nafsu Nafsine, and Samanin Koorirul Kaatte still remains the best loved version of the old songs.
Organiser of Cultural Shows and Chief Executive Officer of Qbiz Events Nishad Khader said, “Moosa introduced a culture that drew the common man to the world of music. He had a large number of fans in Qatar and his programmes attracted a large number of music lovers, common men as well as music scholars.”
Moosa had more than 1,000 stage performances to his credit. No other Mappilappattu singer has performed more than Moosa in the Gulf countries. He performed in more than 300 programmes in Gulf countries. Little wonder that Moosa remains the most loved Mappilappattu singer for Keralites living in the Arabian Gulf.
