Folk songs event enthrall audience

The Ghantasala Venkateswara Rao Government Music and Dance College was drenched in melody and emotions with the folk songs programme organised by Damodara Ganapathi Rao on Sunday.

Ganapati Rao and his troupe render the emotional and heart touching songs like “Amma mata vinte enta hayi”, “Nagulammo ... nagulammoo”, “Attarusayibu”, “Rara Chandamama...,” “Manduloda ori mayaloda...”

Here it is apt to state that the Telugu folk literature is very much rich and Telugu folk literature has also occupied a prominent place in world folk. The Telugu folk songs are very popular in Andhra Pradesh and loved by one and all.

In the earlier days these folk songs are based on the mythological and historical stories like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Palnati Veera Charitra, katamaraju Kathalu, Bobbili veera charitra. Later folk narrations have taken a diversion and developed with human touch songs and with rural backdrop. These songs have become popular among the rural and urban folk lovers.

The music and folk lovers enjoyed the songs rendered by Ganapati Rao along with other singers satish from Warangal, Balakrishna from Khammam, Ramaiha, Suseela, Sudhakar, Devi, Nagamani, Laya. This was instrumentally supported by Jogi babu on Key-board, Sayi on pads, M Paramesh on Dappu.
