There's a song from Koraput that has been around for decades, called 'Chhi Chhi Chhi Re Nani.' But recently, it has taken the internet by storm, crossing the boundaries of Odisha and captivating audiences all over the world. This song was originally recorded over 20 years ago, but now it has gone viral in India and is even gaining recognition internationally, with people in places like Kuwait playing it.
In fact, a video was recently shared on the Bhubaneswar subreddit that shows a band performing the song in Kuwait, with drums and trumpets adding a new flavor to the traditional tune.

It's amazing to see how this song has reached beyond the borders of India and made its way to the Gulf.
This viral hit has inspired many people to create their own versions of the song, with short-form videos popping up all over social media. People are enthusiastically recreating and sharing their renditions of the song, which tells a heartfelt story of love and betrayal. It's about a man who is deeply devoted to his beloved, but when he is away, she gets engaged to someone else, leaving him heartbroken.
The popularity of 'Chhi Chhi Chhi Re Nani' has also sparked discussions about its creator, the late Satya Narayan Adhikari. Jeypore MLA Tara Prasad Bahinipati has urged the Odisha Assembly to consider awarding a posthumous Padma Shri to Adhikari, in recognition of his contributions to tribal music. According to Bahinipati, the song has gained over 3 crore views on social media in the last month alone, reaching a global audience. Adhikari, who was not only a musician but also a lawyer, played a key role in promoting Koraput's tribal music and truly deserves this honor.
This song was originally composed in 1991 and recorded in 1992, but it is now experiencing a resurgence like never before. It's amazing to see how this traditional Koraputia song has crossed boundaries and gained popularity all these years later. It just goes to show that music truly knows no boundaries.
