NYSMF Madrigal Choir singing AR Rahman's Balleilakka

[@MyMadhanraj]

Really feels amazing when a Tamil song got this much attraction to you all. Love from Tamilnadu.

[@susanneyuk-pingpong8705]

Its true what the guy said at the beginning; your Tamil skills are impeccable and this is from a speaker of the language. I definitely wouldn't be able to sing like that anytime soon. Amazing. You've truly showcased some skill here.

It's a Tamil song. Tamil is not just a language but the oldest civilization on earth. The coming time will prove it.
