While Suba was learning the south Indian tradition from her father, she was also studying classical choral music in school. Suba brings together these disparate influences with this choral arrangement of a 15th-century geetham.

lyrics

“Oh! Merciful one, with lotus-like eyes! You are an ocean of mercy and showed kindness to the elephant king, Gajendra. You, the lord of Lakshmi slew the demons Keshi and Narakaasura.
