I would like to start a thread about a woman composer and vidushi Smt. Lalitha Navile.
Yesterday, I stumbled across this album:"Devi Krithis of Dikshitar" . I was captivated by her voice and style, and wanted to know more about her. And then 2,520 results in 0.29 seconds, almost all useless.
Only one site provides some information http://www.carnaticcorner.com/articles/ ... nataka.htm and says that she has composed over 3000 compositions.
Further searches took me to various sites and I could find a few albums of her(I am providing links below). A Kannadati composing in Kannada (:shock) that too varnas and thillanas, quite a phenomenon in itself!
Links:
1) Varnas in kannada: http://mio.to/album/Lalitha+Navile/Varn ... %281985%29
2)Devi Kritis of Dikshitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhrzUhX-2sQ
3)Thillans: http://mio.to/album/Lalitha+Navile%2C+S ... %281981%29
4)Devaranamas and Padmavati suprabhatam: http://play.raaga.com/kannada/singer/so ... tha-Navile
I don't think her works have seen the light of the day. Sometimes her name appears in discussions of women vaggeyakaras, but only the name. That's why I opened this topic.

Re: Lalitha Navile- a woman composer and vidushi of today
Hello
Is there any information available on this women composer. Can you please help?
IS she still alive? its really sad that such eminent personalities are not brought to the forefront , who have contributed a lot to the Carantic Music.

Vid. Lalitha Navile is a Bangalorean born in 1940 and highly qualified academically in music. She teaches music at university level and has many compositions in various forms. She also plays several instruments.
This info was scanned from the Karnataka Sangita Vishaya Vishwakosha in Kannada.
Google Lalitha Navile and you will get several albums and songs of hers.
I don't know how active she is at 82.
