Old Kannadasan records crackled through grandmother's transistor as she swayed in her Chennai kitchen. My daughter watched, mesmerized, filming for her social network. The scratchy melodies—songs that had made millions sing decades ago—suddenly became viral gold. But something shifted when neighbors started gathering, drawn by the familiar refrains.
