In any story - everything was very bad until a woman came along and showed love and mercy. I have turned to Indian traditional music to convey a woman’s feelings for a man. The reputation of Indians in this area is unsurpassed: everybody knows who wrote the Kama Sutra. Their music has many different ragas (raga – color, passion) devoted to everyday life. The evening ragas are the most intimate and beautiful ones. Indian girls sing them when the sun has already set. A lot of work has been done during the long day and soon it’s time to go to bed. Now all that is missing is the one she loves. The girl has missed him very much over the long day and waits for him to come. Eventually he comes home, naturally, and the girl is happy, and so her joy colors the hearts of people enchanted by her song.
