C. Girinandh the founder of the band says “We believe that once music ceases to be ephemeral it enters the condition of painting. Just like your daily activities, calendric or life-cycle rituals, work, games, enculturation, etc… How better to express it than Folk? This song is our humble offering to the craftsmen of the highest order, the sustainers of civilizations - The Farmers. As Thiruvallur said, “They alone live who live by agriculture; all others lead a cringing, dependent life”
