Kerben Bella Gowder

Over a period of time, I have listened to a lot of Badaga singers [some were as good as professionals] but the best in my opinion is KERBEN BELLA GOWDER who had a golden voice. I met him for the first time all most three decades ago. He could play harmonium, bull bull tara or ‘thambutte’ [drum] with equal elan, His greatest ability was to compose and render songs on the spot, some times suitably changing the verses to suit the occassion.

He was a much sought after singer in any function, be it a wedding, savu or anniversary. Just with a couple of his colleagues accompanying on the thambutte [mathalam] and jalra [cymbals], he would sing while playing the harmonium. Sadly, no songs were recorded in any studio.

His savu [sad] songs would bring tears streaming down even in the hardest of hearts.

    Namashkara. As I see most informative topics in this website regarding Badaga people and their origin, there is some information which states that badaga people belong to “Schedule tribes” and some leading organizations, for ex . Badaga association leaded by Dr. Kullan and others are fighting for the right . What is your opinion about this information . Can we Have a discussion on this so that we have input from various people?

    JP adds : Thank you Ashok. The important topic of ‘ST’ status for Badagas has been detailed on the page ‘burning issues’
