Local singers more important

Kannada movies have been seeing an influx of singers from Hindi for the past few years. Some music directors and lyricists complain about the poor quality of Kannada songs today as non-Kannada singers are unable to pronounce the words correctly.

Now, as though reading the minds of all the language lovers, Lahari Recording Company, which has been in the Kannada music industry for the last three decades, has made a policy decision that not more than 20 percent of songs in an album (for which the company takes the rights) should be sung by outside singers. So 80% or more of the songs will be crooned by Kannadigas. The company says that the quality of the songs has been compromised in the past few years and it should not happen in the future.
