Coffee Break: Colors for Holi
by Anna Reed
March 13, 2017
Last night began Holi - the Hindu spring festival celebrated in India and Nepal that signifies the victory of good over evil, the end of winter, and a day to meet others and repair broken relationships.
Today is the second day of the festival which features people frolicking in the open streets, smearing each other with powdered colors, water guns and water balloons. Anyone is fair game, and later on today after the color fights have died down, people will dress up and visit their friends and family.
So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention colors?
