Harmonious Kannada Music – Overdose?
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 More >
“We must become the change we want to see”
A designful song voiced by one of the top singers in the Kannada music industry. 6 singers come together to sing a patriotic song in Kannada, for the first time in the history of Kannada Music Industry. And this is what it says “We must become the change we want to see“. Check out the video below.
From America to India in Minutes
This ad was at an Indian store in the city. Am talking about “Mysore Woodlands“. Its one of the best Indian restaurants ( am not advertising, relatively it is) in Rochester,NY.. But I was kinda perplexed by their ad at an Indian store. It said “From India to America in minutes“, rather it should have been “From America to India to minutes” ?
Junglee-Hale Paathre,Hale KabaNa(Kannada): Pathetic lyrics
Last weekend Niru and Shaanya told that they are gonna dedicate a song for me on Radio Girmit, I was kinda happy. But later I came to know the song which they were going to dedicate and by god..it was horrible..
I had told the same thing for Chitranna Chitranna song but later I felt it was kinda ok as it seemed funny to hear such lyrics. Same stuff again, the music is catchy but lyrics are real bad. But this song is probably one of the worst lyrics ever written in the history of kannada music industry. The song I am talking about is “Junglee – Hale Paathre“. You will be shocked to hear this, the lyrics for this song is written by Yograj Bhat himself. How could he even think of such lyrics. Probably only two songs in the movie are good to hear. I think its pathetic to use words like “hale paathre, hale kabana” in some song in which the next lines are about love and romance. And this song is sung by “Kailash Kher”, he will even not know what the meaning of this song is. He will probably feel bad if he comes to know what the More >
