Folk Scholar P.K. Rajashekhara discusses preservation of Janapada Geete in Bengaluru

Folk scholar P.K. Rajashekhara stated that changing the rhythm in folk songs is inappropriate, adding that if any folk song loses its original source, it will resemble a film song. He spoke at the 'Maneyangaladalli Maatukate' program organized by the Kannada and Culture Department in the city on Saturday. Rajashekhara emphasized that folk art is a comprehensive subject of the illiterate society and that changing it arbitrarily will destroy the original culture. He advised that the original rhythm and language of folk songs must be preserved.
