Listen to episode one hereWhy ARE there so many songs about rainbows? Because there's SO MUCH TO SAY about them!
Happy Holi! Andrew & Polly act as the prism for some awesome tangential concepts connected to ROY G BIV. Jazz piansit Charu Suri shares the connection between raga (Sanskrit for "color" or "dye") and the aura of music, as well as her love of the mischievously vibrant paint-throwing Festival of Colors, Holi!
And Nina Silver takes us on a guided unpacking of flood myths and rainbows as symbols of hope in a sonically rich imagining of Noah's Ark at the Skirball Cultural Center.
In this episode, you'll hear:
Rainbow Shoppe by Andrew & Polly (feat. Lucy Kalantari)
Bourbon Street Stroll (Raga Hemant) by Charu Suri from Rags & Ragas
Aaj Rang Hai (Today There is Color) by Charu Suri from The Book of Ragas (Vol. 2)
additional underscore by Andrew & Polly
You can hear more colorful bops on our Spotify Playlist: Songs About Rainbows 🌈
Many thanks to Charu, Nina, and our friends Adrian, Stella Rose, Townes, and Tenny (and their parents & siblings) for sharing what they know about rainbows! If you know a kid who has something to say (spoiler alert: they all do!), to learn more or to be on the show, visit earsnacks.org
