I've finally managed to do a Kannada number now with Jo - Jotheyali. This is a HUGE hit from the 80's and till today, any important function in the city like Rajyotsava day, and this is the song that blares out through loudspeakers. The late Shankar Nag who was the hero in this film still has a huge dedicated fan following and almost every Kannadiga adores him.
I've always loved this song, and long after I got a karaoke track for it (thanks to Madhu), requested Jo to do it thinking his voice would suit the song. I think he has done a great job of it, taking care to get the pronunciations right. Let us know what you think of this one!
(The tune was recycled by Raja recently in a song in the Hindi movie Cheeni Kum-like all the other songs in the movie- called Jaane do na. Hope to record that sometime as well...)
Here goes- Jotheyali- dedicated to all the Kannadigas out there! How I miss home...

Jo, u've done a great job with the kannada pronounciation! :-) nice expressions!
Sindhu, in the lines kamana billeruva and jaarutha naavaaduva felt a slight strain in reaching the high notes..nonetheless, absolutely enjoyed! :-)
very very nice. Made me so nostalgic! well sung, both of you, Sindhu and Jo!
Nice rendition! Initially I had to get out of the mold that I am not listening to Janaki :) But otherwise, your voice was great. Looking forward to your rendition of "Jaane do na".
Cheers,
Krishna
