Rare, the Kafi Kanada Sessions by thirty3 thirty3 : Rare, the Kafi Kanada Sessions.
 Music in a gravity-free environment.

Kafi Kanada is a rare and ancient Indian classical raga. It provides the setting for this music in a "gravity-free environment," a melding of sitarist Jay Kishor's guitar playing with Savana Moore's piano.

There are so few of us left
and we are very old
we are the last of our kind
walking here
among our fallen ancestors
passing slowly
over their bones
like elephants in their mystical graveyards,
touching
ancient, mossy, weathered stones
discovering
the scent of our own coming absence
rising from the soil
and swallowed by the roses
still and pungent in the vaporous air
losing ourselves
in the moment of our own extinction
while we are not yet gone,
but merely rare

~Savana Moore
