Ummai Pola Yaarundu - Acoustic Guitars with Djembe

Here, I am presenting a video to primarily illustrate the usefulness of Djembe in small Christian groups and family gatherings. This was done during a casual get together during Christmas time (2016). As for the chords, the song involves very simple chords such as C, F, G7, Am and Dm7. Paul Krupakar was on the Djembe. As we can hear, a variety of tonal variations can be derived from this single portable drum through careful control to blend well with any instrument. Here is the video:

Christmas Song - Aadhi Thiruvaarthai Dhiviya

I am presenting here, a link to a video of the song, Aadhi Thiruvaarthai Dhiviya that we did during the 2016 Christmas at In Christ Tamil Church at Washington DC. The chords arrangement that have been used here is similar to the version available in the Tamil Christian Songs pdf file. I hope that this is useful here though this is not a typical instructional video. Kingsly was playing the djembe along with me.  The bass part of djembe is not audible in this video due to unknown technical reasons. But Djembe is a classy African drum very useful for all types of Christian songs. Especially, in small Christian groups or in family get together, this instrument can effectively be used to completely fill the percussion part of songs along with any acoustic instrument. 

Chords for Tamil Christmas Song Aarivar Aaraaro

As I was trying to get some songs together for a time of carol rounds, I was reminded of an old meaningful song - Aarivar Aaraaro. The words of this song once again reminds us about the most precious and wonderful gift of God to mankind (Jesus Christ) and what He has done for us.  Here is the video:

This song is also a great song to learn using the 7th and the 7th diminished chords. For convenience,  I am including here the diagrams of the not so familiar chords used in this song.

As always the chords will be available in the pdf file which can be accessed by clicking the Chords - Tamil Christian Songs tab at the top of this page.
