P B SRINIVAS

THE EXTENT OF INFLUENCE P B SRINIVAS HAS EXCERSISED ON OUR CULTURE IS IMMEASURABLE. BUT WE AS A STATE/CULTURE HAVE IGNORED HIM TOTALLY. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE RECOGISE HIM FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS. CAN ANY ONE TELL AS TO WHETHER THERE IS A COMPREHENSIVE REPOSITORY OF HIS SONGS?

KANNADA SONGS FROM 1950-60

This is to elicit some information about music prevailing in Karanataka in 1950-1960. Music can be of theatre, traditional, classical, film based, light music (bhava geete).

It is important to collate and preserve the lyrics, recordings, photographs and any other physical entities which will ensure that future generation of kannadigas have a reference point for their musical history.
