There was a time when kannada music was really soothing with a real blend of style and variety. No doubt, the music experience is still soothing but with less intermixture. The annavaru era was the time where we had an amalgamation of traditional classical, sooper romantic, senti and dance numbers. Those songs had a diverse melody in them and we can say present day music sort of has it in them and as well as not. This might be lightly controversial and disturbing statement, but its very true.

If you can recollect the number of good songs which have been coming up since 2006, we of course owe a lot to the amazing music maker Mr.Mano Murthy and his uncommon style of producing melody. But, wait a little and refresh your memory ! Even other music makers started cloning his style. Yeno antaar alla “atiyada amruta nu visha agatte” antha. Its not that this style of slow style music isn’t good or wasn’t done before and it isn’t experimental, but… there were several genre of music too – not just a single frequency trend (i hope you got it !).

Let me take you back to 2006 when this form of euphony set in. It all started with the sooper brilliant Munagru Male. And most of the songs are sung by Sonu Nigam & Shreya Goshal.
