Badaga folk, wedding, festival and devotional songs from the Nilgiris. Free, with no ads. Download and listen offline, wherever you are.
Nanga Kathai means "our song". It is a home for Badaga music: the songs of the Badaga people of the Nilgiris, from Ooty, Kotagiri, Coonoor and the villages (hattis) in between.
For generations our songs lived on cassettes, CDs and in the memories of our elders. Nanga Kathai brings them together in one free app, so that Badagas everywhere, in the Nilgiris, across India, in the Gulf, Canada, the US and beyond, can hear the music of home.

FOR SINGERS AND FAMILIES
Many of our older recordings come from a family collection gathered over many years, and not every artist has been identified yet. If a song is yours or your family's, tap "Is this your song?" on any song. You can ask us to credit you, correct the details or remove the song. We review every request.
Singers, lyricists and music directors: verified creator accounts are coming soon, so you can share your new songs with the Badaga community around the world.
WHY WE BUILT IT
Nanga Kathai is made by Metatroncube Software Solutions, whose founder is Badaga. Badaga singers once earned from cassettes and CDs. Today most rely on YouTube and a few sponsors. We want to give our artists a proper home, and in future, a fair way to earn from their creations, so that a new generation is inspired to keep our music alive.
SUPPORT US
Nanga Kathai is free, and every song stays free for everyone. If it brings you joy, share it with your family and friends to help us bring more artists on board.
