Unlike classical Indian dances such as bharatanatyam or kathakali, dappankuthu is relatively informal in that it has no structured, repeated steps and dancers do not learn through formal dance classes. It shares its emphasis on percussion with older folk dances of Tamil Nadu, such as kummi and kolattam.
A percussion instrument called parai in Tamil, without the jingles, is often used for dappankuthu or similar dance forms. Unlike normal tambourines, this requires a wooden stick to play. Telugu teenmaar uses daf drums, associated there with Siddi people.[2] The urumee drum is also often used. A customised trumpet (called Nadaswaram locally) is also sometimes employed. The rhythm of the dappankuthu is often signified by a mix of beat patterns layered and flowing into one another. Other percussion instruments may be employed in dappankuthu. A similar instrument called TamaTe in Kannada resembling a Ganesh tambourine is also used for such dance forms in border areas such as M.M. Hills. The most-used time signature for dappankuthu songs is 6
8.[3][4][5]
Even though any attire can be worn when one dances the dappankuthu, a lungi (colourful cloth wrapped around the waist) is commonly worn and most preferable, with the bottom raised and folded upwards over the knees in the middle. Ideally, it should be worn over pattapatti (lined trousers). The shirt worn would have only two or three buttons in place, while the chest portion is left wide open and at the lower part of the shirt is knotted (using the two portions of the shirt). It is also common to tie a handkerchief or bandana around one's forehead and/or wrist.
In Male Mahadeshwara hills of Karnataka bordering Tamil Nadu, the music for this dance will be played for money, and the believers can dance for longer time.Particularly in this hill, there is a saying that god feels happy if his believers dance for him.
The genre has been a staple of Tamil cinema, with the composer Ilaiyaraaja credited with popularising kuthu and other folk music in 70s cinema scores. Early on, the composers incorporated kuthu rhythms (and instruments) as a brief element to otherwise "classical" songs. Cinema is also responsible for incorporating singing into the instrumental genre of dappankuthu, with the trend flourishing in 2000s and giving birth to the modern kuthu pop. Because of the closeness of Kollywood and Tollywood industries, kuthu spread in Tollywood under the name "teenmaar", derived from Hyderabad military drumming traditions.[2]
The genre was noticeably used in the songs "Boyz" and "Bird Flu" by M.I.A. on her 2007 album Kala.[6] It was also used in the Academy Award winning song "Naatu Naatu", giving kuthu again more global attention.[2]

This was a song that became a sensation not just in Tamil Nadu, but across the country and even abroad. From fans to Bollywood stars and sportspersons doing cover version videos, this marana mass number by Anirudh had a rousing reception. There can be no doubt that this song, featuring Thalapathy Vijay, was a favourite of everyone from little kids to the elderly.
Even though this song came out in the middle of last year, it continued to rule this year and remained the most favourite memory when the film released earlier this year. Dhanush brought his A game to this Santhosh Narayanan number as a singer while lyricist Vivek gave us the catchy phrase Rakita Rakita.
Santhosh Narayanan kocked out one of the most interesting albums of the year with Parris Jeyaraj, in which all the songs were gaana numbers. And this song quickly became a cult hit. Written by Rokesh and Asal Kolaar and sung by Gaana Muthu, this song turned out to be a superhit among college stunts this year.
Composer duo Vivek-Merwin are no strangers when it comes to peppy songs. From Guleba to Chill Bro, they have given quite a few foot-tapping number, but Jai Sulthan, sung by Anirudh, Junior Nithya and Gaana Guna, was a surprise hit that became the calling card for the film, starring Karthi and Rashmika Mandanna.
Even though this film is a boxing drama, Pa Ranjith managed to give us the happy lives of people from the underprivileged sections of the society with this rousing kuthu number by Santhosh Narayanan. In addition to acting as a relief to the drama, the song also helped the filmmaker tell his story quickly as we move from Arya's Kabilan winning a bout to getting married. We even got one of the terrific first-night scenes in Tamil cinema with this song.
Though this song was not part of the film's narrative, it made an appearance in the end credits and was also used as a promo song. With a catchy hook by composer Michael Britto and casual singing by Sivakarthikeyan along with Poovaiyar, Rajesh and Kamala Kannan, this was an instant hit. And the video had Kavin showcasing his dance moves!
