Bands like Thaikkudam Bridge proved that Malayalis crave organic instrumental sounds. Their use of saxophone in songs like "Fish Rock" re-established the sax as a "cool" instrument rather than an old relic. malayalamsax new
The Star of the New Wave Sangeeth Sivan has become a household name for his "Malayalam Saxophone Mashups." His "Manju Pole" cover garnered 2 million views in three months. His style is unique: he plays the melody of a new song (e.g., "Oru Naalil" from Pulimada) while using loop stations to add live percussion in the background.
Within the first month of releasing their EP on streaming platforms, MalayalamSax New’s tracks amassed 2.3 million streams, with a 78 % completion rate—a rare metric indicating listeners stay engaged throughout the songs. Their TikTok hashtag #MalayalamSaxVibes has generated over 150,000 user videos, ranging from dance challenges to acoustic covers. | Event | Date | Venue | Highlights
Rahul’s percussion set‑up is a hybrid rig: a traditional chenda sits beside a compact set of congas, a cajón, and a small drum machine. By layering the 8‑beat taka‑ta‑ka pattern of thiruvathira with the off‑beat accents of Afro‑Cuban son, the ensemble creates grooves that compel both foot‑tapping and head‑nodding.
In the track “Kadalppalam” (Sea Whisper), a chenda roll mimics the rolling surf, while a subtle clave pattern adds a Latin swing, pushing the composition into a space where Kerala meets Havana. Pre‑order : https://malayalamsax
Verdict:
Soulful, nostalgic, and well-arranged – a treat for fans of evergreen Malayalam melodies, though not radically different from earlier sax covers.
