Mappila songs have a distinct cultural identity while at the same time remain closely linked to the cultural practices of Kerala. The songs often used words from Persian Urdu Tamil Hindi apart from Arabic and Malayalam but the grammatical syntax was always based on Malayalam. They deal with themes such as religion love satire and heroism and are often sung at occasions of birth marriage and death. Mappila Paattu form an integral part of the heritage of Malayalam literature today and is regarded by some as the most popular branch of Malayalam literature enjoyed by all communities in Kerala. Harmonium Tabla Ganjira and Elathaalam are the musical instruments employed for this performance. Only the Mappilapaattu will be sung on the occasion. The word Oppana may have been derived from an Arabic form Afna. There are two types of Oppana, one is Oppana chayal another is Oppana murukkam. When Oppana chayal is performed, they do not clap their hands. If it begins with Chayal it would also end with Chayal only.
