kalinga rao's composer-singer tradition was carried forward by mysore ananthaswamy, c. ashwath and shimoga subbanna, and grew into a movement in the 1990s, giving rise to annual conferences and schools teaching sugama sangeeta. mysore ananthaswamy leaned towards the filigree of the ghazal style and excelled at tweaking western styles for kannada songs. c. ashwath evolved a style that dramatised a folksy style. his signature composition "udayavagali namma cheluva kannada nadu" which inspired the kannada unification movement was a landmark in the kannada light music tradition.
