Oh thank you, Varsha Di!!! 🤗 You are so sweet...I believe it is due to non-exposure to the real South that many people have misguided beliefs... For example, many think all South Indians are kallus, and I think they havent seen many South Indians - if they did, they wouldnt say that. Years ago, Malayalam movies had a bad reputation outside Kerala, because distributors used to add bits into the movies to get audience - due to language barrier and with no subtitles in those days, only mallus would watch them and so they wont make a profit... But now, it's all changed. With ARR in Bollywood, and singers like Yesudas, SPB, Chitra, etc singing in Hindi, many are aware of the talents from the South. And movie directors like Maniratnam, Priyadarshan, etc have taken it to a different level... It's the same with music too. Over time, they will know, I am sure. 😃 😳 😊 😃
"non-exposure to the real South that many people have misguided beliefs"Same is true for Bengal and Asamese music!I don't know whether you have heard of Baul and Bhatiali from Bengal (which is btw very much appreciated all over the western world) and Bihu from Assam.Then ther is classical "Tappa"I request you to listen to songs of Sandhya Mukherjee and judge how great she is!Also listen to the maestro Dhananjay Bhattachrya and judge for yourself whether any bollywood singer (past and present) can sing like him!

What an irony in my life!! I was supposed to have grown up in Cal and due to my paternal grandparents determination, I grew up with them in the South when my brother grew up in Cal!! I have heard from many who have lived in Bengal that many people there have very sweet voice and are quite musical talent among many and very good voice to listen to... I dont understand Bengali but my parents do... If you look at the history of famous talents in India in music, poetry, acting, etc, there are so many from Bengal...
