Project Showcase@IFA | Veera Tammanna Nayaka | Mohan Kumar N

'Veera Tammanna Nayaka - A Hero Remembered' was a performance by Mohan Kumar N, a folk singer of the Kadu Golla community in Karnataka, held at Sabha Blr in Bangalore. Mohan embarked on a project that looked at the discrepancies in the documented history of the lives of the local ruler King Ranabhaire Gowda and Veera Tammanna of the Kadu Golla community, considered a ‘Veeragara’ or a local hero. The personal project takes oral narratives sung by various community singers and addresses how various social forces have impacted the nature and character of these narratives over time. Mohan reimagined these stories in the form of songs, forming a new literature that acts as resistance to contemporary authoritarian ideas. The performance had some of the songs Mohan composed. Mohan Kumar N is a folk singer and researcher from the Kadu Golla community. He is a graduate from the Theatre School Sanehalli in Chitradurga and has represented his community and their music on national and international platforms.
