"In India, dance and storytelling are closely linked. Flora Devi is one of those artists who, excelling in both these arts, knows how to captivate the audience... A beautiful CD for children and adults, whose profits go to the French Association for Abandoned Children ... when art and generosity go hand in hand ... "

"Four stories, in French, recount some wonderful adventures, where the sacred blends with the legendary,where the imaginary makes us meet Buddha, the Goddess Lakshmi, Ramesh with his wife and a King's counselor. To illustrate these portraits, five musicians sprinkle the canvas with fragments of ragas".
