This song celebrates the vibrancy, colour and texture of the red soil during the season of love when raw energies of young lovers are felt and expressed. The flowers become ornaments of the tribal women expressing their freedom of choice and raw passion swaying to the the drums and flutes in the air around the red soil of the pristine land.
