Vidudhalai (Freedom) | Official Music Video | Manam | Rohith Jayaraman & Asha Ramesh

Vidudhalai (Freedom) is a musical, lyrical, and emotional journey of growth. Questioning societal evils such as colorism, casteism, and religious violence, this song was written after the horrific murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Jeyaraj, Bennicks, and many more. It is only fitting that this music video is released on the same day that Mr. Floyd's killer was sentenced to over 2 decades in prison — a small, but important, step towards justice.

Vidudhalai (Freedom) is the last track from Manam, an album by son-mother duo Rohith Jayaraman & Asha Ramesh. This music video features the English translation and Tamizh transliteration of the song, set against visual imagery by graphic designer Bhavya Kumar.
