Aoora Performs K-Pop and Malayalam Hits in Kerala
Aoora shared the billing with veteran Indian artist M.G. Sreekumar and singer K.S. Harisankar at the large-scale cultural event. Taking the closing slot of the festival, the K-pop performer delivered his established tracks “Thi Thi Thara” and “Shiva Shivam.” He also integrated regional Malayalam-language hits into his set, including “Eyy Banane” and “Illuminati,” blending local musical styles with K-pop choreography.
The performance drew a crowd of roughly 6,000 spectators to the venue in Kerala. This appearance forms part of Aoora’s ongoing efforts to adapt regional Indian languages and musical structures into K-pop formats, expanding cross-cultural touchpoints between Korean and Indian popular music audiences.
