Nee Da Ma Daa (2007)

Ragha — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 10:39:54 +0000

Genre:Indian contemporary classical / instrumental / vocals / percussion

Intro: This unique project is dedicated to a young life which was cut short due to unnatural, excruciating, and untimely end caused by severe mental depression. The brilliant vocalist, Ms. Raksha Aravind, represents the voice of the young soul. Nee Da Ma Daa are the notes of a scale in the ìragaî tradition of Indian music. The melodies (without lyrics) are sung as notes, delineations, and embellishments of the ragas. Ms. Aravind has sung exquisitely at an unusually high pitch, in the key E. Music in this CD captures complex emotions throughout the short span of the young life. Happy times, though very brief, are the essence of In Life, Celebration, and Dreams. Trauma and acute conflicts that torment the young mind are represented in the songs Haunting, Restless Solitude, and Nee Da Ma Daa. The budding flower that never blossomed ends in Angst. Eventually the soul is liberated and rejoiced in healing.
