Nada Priyanu Alla Veda Priyanu alla - Basavanna

Very nice concert from Vid. Sumithra - 2 concerts in 2 weeks - the previous one being in blr. Very nice KHP and to hear Basavanna in Chennai was indeed surprising in a nice way!

Nada priya sivanalla. Was it in Hamsanandi? There is Koodala sangama dva appearing in the sahitya. Is that the ankita of Basavanna? I have never heard it sung in a concert.

Yeah - basavanna's ankita is koodala sangama deva. Basavanna's "vachanas" are very popular amongst the masses and we learned it as part of our school. It goes like - nadapriyanembuvaru nadapriyanalla, vedapriyanembuvaru vedaprivyanalla, bakuthipriya namma koodala sangama deva. Basically, Lord Shiva is neither fond of "nada" or "veda" but "bhakthi"

It is a prerequisite for those who take Karnataka state board music exams to know the vachanas of Basavanna /kkamahadevi and a few artists from karnataka do sing these vachanas. I have heard Smt.Vasantha Madhavi and Smt. T.S.Rama sing the vachanas in concerts.
