Karnataka has a film tradition dating back 70 years to the first Kannada-language talkie, "Sathi Sulochana," in 1934. In the years since, Karnatak artists have seldom composed exclusively in Kannada -- the film industries of the south frequently cross-pollinate, borrowing singers, lyricists and composers from each other. The wealth of Karnatak musicians are too numerous to mention; some of the better known include lyricist SK Kareem Khan and the award-winning singers Aswath and Ratnamala Prakash. The now-retired Dr. Rajkumar, with his sizeable discography of both film and devotional songs, is one of the best known and beloved film stars/singers in the Kannada language.Kannadaen720Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:52:18 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=g.2089&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fsouth-asia%2Fkannada%2Fmusic-videos.rss Kannada is spoken in Karnataka, a southern state in India sandwiched between Andhra Pradesh to the east, Kerala and Tamil Nadu to the south, and Maharasthra to the north.
