Most popular Era: mid 60s - early 70s

Basic definition: Raga rock is a style of rock that uses the influence of indian music, whether this be through song construction or indian musical instruments. The term "raga" refers to the specific melodic modes used in classical Indian music. It is commonly associated with the psychedelic rock movement of the late 60s, with the song "Heart Full of Soul" by the Yardbirds being credited with popularising the genre in Western countries, mainly through the use of Indian instruments such as the tabla.

[solis-angelus]

make love all day long

make love singing songs

my heart dances with the tabla taal. Alaap notes of the Raga laughing in the fresh morning air. feet subconsciously springing into practiced action of the Kathak routine. eyes closed, shoulders moving on beat, eyebrows with their bold expressions, wrists twirling in mudras, the echoes of ghungoor jingles drift by as if in a dream.

Dhrupad takes me by storm. A kurti clad Cinderella with her musical prince, dancing endlessly in the empty courtroom, high on the essence of freedom and self-expression, remembered.

The sitar strings with the Jhala approach, their beats picking up, the time is precious, pure and revered. my heart and body's rhythm is one with it's eager spirits.

I laugh in delirium. 2:58. And it plays again.

I could listen to the song all day long. It's a love letter addressed to all the Indian classical music souls, a much needed embrace of reminders, assurances, and forgotten lovers.
