DBS Jeyaraj has placed
the popular song ‘Dingiti dingale ‘on the net as below.
He is quite with it.
I am able to throw more light
on this song.
Popular, multitalented actor
Chandra Babu studied at St Joseph’s College Colombo ( 1940s- 50s). He was not
born in south India. Having migrated there due to religion problems.
He presumably took
back our baila songs styles.
In the mid 1950s, before
1959- his song “ Bamara kanale Kadal’’ became very popular, and older students
recalled his studying at St. Josephs.
The link above will take you to
the Bamarakanale song with presumably Chandrababu dancing to it. His initial
dance moves are much the Sri Lanka baila type as seen in the link.
Look up ‘Pambarakanale – Chandra
Babu’
Seems the ‘Dingitidingale.’
song came later. Guess it was sung by Sountharajan.
Dr. Paramjothy c c above is in a position to
help.
