Kerala music band mocks at 'strong tea brewed by the king.' Strong tea recurs in the song and each time, it stirs up new meanings.

"Yes, my decisions are 'kadak' (hard). When I was young, the poor always asked me to make kadak chai (strong tea)," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said a few days back, defending demonetization overnight.
Oorali, a music band from Kerala, has come up with a 'troll song' against demonetization and 'Kadak Chai' has come handy for the singer. 'Strong tea' becomes a recurring symbol in the nuanced song penned by singer Martin. And each time, the strong chai stirs up in new meanings and turns out to be a sharp critique of demonetization.
Oorali, a unique music band, based in Thrissur, begins its new song with an introduction of the 'strong tea brewed by the king!' The Malayalam song, which has already created a buzz in the social media, winds up with a toungue in the cheek statement: "we have no way but to sing in praise of those in power."
