Marynka Nicolai-Krylova
RaagMala Suite is a composition based on the classical Indian Raga music tradition. In Indian musical culture, a great number of Raga’s are devoted to different emotions and their variations. Raga’s offer numerous possibilities for musical interpetations.

Maxim Chapochnikov
The musical style of RaagMala Suite is difficult to define. The makers of RaagMale Suite are inspired by the principles of Eastern (Inadian) music, Western neo-classical music, impressionistic music from the beginning of the 20th century. Their sound is fresh and innovative and their interpretations of the Ragas are anything but conventional.
