Last week, on Basava Jayanti, I was looking for Basavanna vachana on YouTube. I stumbled on a video featuring Kalabeda Kolabeda sung by Hafiz Bale Khan. The vachana is sung beautifully. Listening to the song I felt the singer had to be a Kannadiga. I looked further into the channel, then Googled the singer's name and found that Ustad Hafiz Bale Khan is song of Sitar Nawaz Bale Khan of Dharwad Gharana. Ustad Bale Khan's other son is Ustad Rais Bale Khan. Both brothers have several vachanas and other devotional songs to their credit. Also they've sung "Nanu Badavi Aata Badava" a composition by Dr. Da Ra Bendre.
In case you wish to check out their renditions, below are the links to their channels:
