0:15:57 > 0:16:04- I belong to another similar group - so it's mainly word of mouth.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26- The songs have stemmed - from the poetry.
0:17:26 > 0:17:33- Music acts as a great medium - for expressing complex scenarios.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- They're delivered in various genres - so we hope they appeal to everyone.
