Answer to Question 1

 Monsoon is an innovative East/West fusion band formed by Indo-pop musician Sheila Chandra, Steve Coe and Martin Smith
 Chandra has explored a synthesis of world vocal traditions often set against electronic and acoustic drones.

Answer to Question 2

 Examples may vary. Introduction by sitar playing raga-like scale in unmeasured time; sitar re-appears later in the song; continuous background drone (on tambura and bass guitar); tabla drumbeat with tala-like cycles; and Harrison's Indian vocal sound. (Now that you studied about India and listened to Indian music, try to find a recording of Love Me To and identify the Indian musical elements for yourself.)

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
