Day 24: Folksong/Folklore

I hope I'm not too late for this prompt, @desi-lgbt-fest!

Since I am a Tamil, Bengali, and Chinese mix, I have three folksongs related to each of them, and they are my current favourites. This goes out for the queer Tamilians, Bengalis, and everybody in between! 🥳🎊✨️

Note: I did read tha the links can not be submitted, so I am gonna be super specific on here so everyone can find the songs.

Tamil: Haratanaya Sree composed by Veena Kinhal; Wikipedia search Saraswati Veena

Bengali: Kolonkini Radha sung by Rishi Chakraborty; On Spotify and YouTube

Chinese: Horse Racing played by the NUS Chinese Orchestra, On YouTube (they play it really well!)

Note Again: I am a sucker for Kolonkini Radha because it's about Radha being warned not to meet Krishna (our beloved queer icon in our LGBT community), but she still does it anyway. I see it as a parallel where us queer people are warned by some of our family members not to follow our hearts, yet we do it.

Enjoy, and happy pride 🏳‍🌈❤✨
