KOCHI: Ringing in festive cheer to wipe away the Covid gloom, brothers from the Capuchin Vidyabhavan, Kottayam, have released a music and dance video, which is bringing smiles on the faces of viewers. ‘Vinnil Perunnal’, the cover dance video which was released on Sunday, has gone viral on social media. The video, which is a surprising and cheering departure from the serious and sombre demeanour associated with the clergy, has been widely appreciated online.
“For the past two months, I had been thinking about doing something during Christmas. Due to the pandemic, all our celebrations and gatherings have been restricted. Therefore, I wanted to create something to cheer people up, irrespective of religion. That is how I came up with the song and video idea,” said Fr Shinto Edassery belonging to Little Flower Congregation, Aluva, who conceptualised and composed the song.
