SUVA - Gazi Khan ║ BackPack Studio™ (Season 1) ║ Indian Folk Music - Rajasthan

This song is a song meant to be sung during royal parties, “Mehfils”. This song is called “Suva”, ,Suva means a parrot in Marwadi dialect. In the past, parrots were used to convey messages, in this context, the queen sings the song and tries different ways to pamper the parrot, so that he speaks sweetly. The song is based on Raag Sorath. This is particularly interesting as Sorath is an India musical raga (musical mode) that appears in the Sikh tradition from northern India and is part of the Sikh holy scripture called Sri Guru Granth Sahib, yet this Raaga is widely used by the Manganiyaars. This song is set to Keherwa Taal, a cycle of 8 beats.
