Kochi: Famus Malyalam Ghazal singer Umbai also known as P.A Ibrahim passed away at the age of 68 on Wednesday due to liver-related problem. Umbai was one of the most popular and famous Ghazal singers in Kerala and is best known for performances like Oru Mugham Mathram, Pinneyum Paadunnu Saigal, Athramel Athramel Snehichu among many others.
Umbai was born in Mattanchery in Kerala’s Ernakulam district and had a tough childhood. With little support from his family for pursuing music, Umbai was drawn into the world of crime. Smuggling watches, perfumes and many other valuables in return for US dollars became one of his ways. He even started drinking.
Umbai was noticed after he performed in New Delhi at a point of time. It was then he came to know about Venu V. Desom whom he later met and that was how his first Malayalam album, Pranamam came into picture. Soon thereafter, poets like ONV Kurup, Yusufali Kecheri, and Sachidanandan lent their poems and his albums hit the right note. The story of Umbai’s life was unraveled in his biography titled- ‘Ragam Bhairavi’ in the year 2016.
Kerala chief minister Pinaryi Vijayan also expressed condolences over the singer’s demise. He took to Twitter and Facebook to mourn the loss of the renowned singer.

His mortal remains would be brought to Community Hall, Kalvathy in Fort Kochi at 10am on Thursday for public to pay homage. Later, he will be laid to rest by 4pm at Juma Masjid, Kalvathy.
He is survived by wife Habsa, daughter Shyla and Sabitha and son Sameer.
