World Music: Shubha Mudgal, "Maati"
(India) Breakthrough TV, which produces consistently fine videos based on social issues is responsible for this cautionary tale, set to eloquent poetry and a splendid melody. Sung by Shubha Mudgal, considered to be one of India's most versatile and adventurous singers, "Maati" is a song in praise of the Earth, and also the Beloved. It provides an ironic backdrop for a story of careless love, in the most literal sense. The wife in this drama teaches a dance class that looks similar to the movements of dervishes, whose spinning brings them closer to God... and yet in the end, our heroine has probably never felt more alone.
