kritis in kannada language

[shegde]

which are all the famous kritis in Kannada language?

[Lakshman]

This is a tall order. There are hundreds of kritis by the Haridasas, all in kannaDa.

[shegde]

plz name at least most popular 10 of those.....

[rshankar]

Since this is in the nATya thread, I assume you are looking for kRtis to dance to.
Some that I have seen danced include:
1) kRshNa nI bEganE bArO
2) candra cUDa Siva Sankara
3) gummana kareyadirE
4) bhAgyada lakSmi bArammA
5) venkaTAcalanilayam vaikunThapura vAsam
6) tambUri mITidavA
7) cikkavano ivanE (needs a very mature dancer to present this)

I am sure there are many more - Lakshmanji, Sachi and Smt. Savitri probably know many more. And although not a kRti, the daru varNam, mAtE malayadhvaja pANDya sanjAtE makes for a wonderful varNam.

Please try this. Go to raaga.com, Carnatic channel, and search "Dasa" under albums.
You will get a few dozen compositions sung by many artistes. You can listen to all of them online.

I think just the Dasa compositions (mainly by Purandara Dasa but also by at least a dozen others) can go up to a few hundred in the larger Carnatic repertoire.

Even young Carnatic musicians who don't understand Kannada learn at least a dozen Kannada compositions to get by in Concerts.

The most famous Kannada song in Carnatic music is Jagadoddharana.
The second most famous is Krishna née begane.

The song Venkatachalanilayam in Sindhubhairavi, as well as the Nata song Jaya jaya, is by Purandara Dasa, but composed in Sanskrit.

Please keep looking into this folder . There is a great body of work that we owe to the likes of RKSrikantan, Nagmani Srinath, BMK , Bellary Brothers , samples of which are here in this folder .
And I could dance to most of them in my mind

We could run through a big list of krithis if there is sufficient interest. If not in the natya context,in a new thread
