Naifaru Dhohokko Collection.

Here are some songs (~~43 songs!~~ 58 songs!) from the famous Maldivian singer and musician, Naifaru Dhohokko. Dhohokko be' was nominated as the singer of the century (on 2000, by Adduvas Weekly). He was,and still is the favorite singer for thousands of Maldivians, especially among the older generations.We can see this by the fact that in TV programs like 'Alhuganduge Hovun' and Radio programs 'Dhathuthuverinnaai eku'....in almost all of the programs there would be a request for a song from Dhohokko be'. Most of the time they will say "Any song by Dhohokko be' will be o.k for me!".His songs were mostly romantic and love poetry.They were known for the good poetry and his own,unique style of performing.Even if his music were copied from hindi songs; he made it all (as he have said) 'dhohokkobized'.He had a certain standard of performing, for example; he would refuse to perform, if he is not happy with the percussion section.There are very few people who are fit to be in his 'band'.And about poetry, he was very concerned about maintaining the standard of his lyrics.They all had a touch of (not just a touch...a whole lot of em!) Urdu language.

Even today he is a favorite for many Maldivians; young and old ,though some youngsters find his music humorous,disgusting,not-music,not amilla raagu,out dated,not understandable....etc!

whatever. here are the songs.In the memory of Dhohokko be' and his songs that entertained thousands of Maldivians.May his soul rest peacefully.Amen!

PS. Any one who have more of his songs,any more information about him,videos....etc please let me know.
