Badaga Songs [Music and Badagas are inseparable. Badaga Language and hence become extinct”.]ģ. I will be grateful to any reader who can provide more info on Thanagaadu L.Krishnan and his songs so that we can immortalise his songs like that of Kerban Bella Gowder. Old timers will remember this song being referred to as ‘ Baby powder’a bekku endhagha, Bella na hennu en Janagi, Akka akka huttidha awai, ondhu jolia heghine baali’.
I remember listening to this dance number fifty years back, a song which was a must in any habba. One of the songs from the album, Priyaraghava has hosted in Cooltoad, is “Kundha Paala Roadu dhoge”…the original Badaga atta song. To say the least, the voice of L.Krishnan, is very unique and the more you listen to his songs, the more you want to listen. Thangaadu L.Krishnan, another great singer I have heard a lot about Thangaadu L.Krishnan, probably a contemporary of Kerban Bella Gowder, but only now had the opportunity to listen to his songs, courtesy Priyaraghava of Eddakkaadu.
