Mappila songs have a distinct cultural identity, while at the same time remain closely linked to the cultural practices of Kerala. The songs often use words from Persian, Hindustani, and Tamil, apart from Arabic and Malayalam, but the grammatical syntax is always based in Malayalam. They deal with themes such as religion, love, satire, and heroism, and are often sung at occasions of birth, marriage, and death.

Pulikkottil Hyder
Pulath Pulikkottil Hyder (born in 1879 at Wandoor) was a popular poet who composed short songs in Arabi-Malayalam on topics of common interest, often attacking social evils. His simple lyrics on ordinary life of the Mappilas defied the traditional patterns of Mappilappattu thus giving him the name "The Kunchan Nambiar of Mappilappattu". In ''Vellappokka Maala'', he describes a heavy flood that affected all throughout the Malabar, Mysore and Travancore. The sufferings of common men in the flood are depicted beautifully using only ordinary Malayalam vocabulary. The ''Pulikkotil Hyder Smaraka Puraskaram'', instituted by the ''Mahakavi Moyinkutty Vaidyar Smaraka Committee'' and given to personalities who have contributed to the art of ''Mappilappattu'' is named after him. The foundation for a memorial for the poet was laid in his hometown Wandoor by former Chief Minister of Kerala The chief minister of Kerala is the chief executive of the Indian state of Kerala.
