And this kind of art and performance are very rare now.<br /><br />I know, I am too young a person to say this - I appreciate your mother-like and warm heart madam.<br /><br />It reminded me of one scene, which my uncle narrated with tears in his eyes. There was a performance by a tribal couple in somewhere in the rayalaseema districts of AP during 1987 - 1990s.<br /><br />Background - <br />There were no rains in the districts. The dance was made and in it, they request 'Varuna' to shower.<br /><br />Lyrics (Telugu) -<br />Vaanamma vaanamma Vaanammoo, Oka saaranna vachi pove vanamma<br /><br />Meaning - <br />Oh mother rain! Oh mother rain! Oh mother rain! Come at least once and go away!... it goes on like that explaining their troubles without rain and proper water.Kamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818164152878105673noreply@blogger.com
