African folk music is the strongest influence noticeable in the piece ‘Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes’. Folk music is a very traditional style of music, so it is evident through the Afro-cuban instrumentation in the piece that it has its origins in Folk. Furthermore, African folk music's main purpose is for dancing. This is evident in the upbeat rhythm with the bass drum playing on each beat, which makes the piece easy to dance to.

On June 21st of 1788 the United States of America was an optimistic place to live. The newly formed country had officially ratified their Constitution on this date, and within a year George Washington would become its first President. These events signified an unofficial end to the American Revolution, which had its start in part, because Americans had rejected the notion of taxation without representation. This modern form of government, however, did, have some problems it needed to deal with. Unable to levy taxes in previous years the federal government had found itself deep in debt.

Some characters have their own individual themes with regards to the style of music played when they are onscreen; for example, Rahul, a 19 year old University student from Sydney, is introduced driving in a car into a traditional Indian home playing very loud heavy bass Western music, an example of diegetic sound that would not normally be found within a traditional Bollywood film. The character for whom Nair uses music to it's greatest effect is Alice, a servant within the main family's, the Verma's, household. Whenever she is onscreen, much more traditional non - diegetic, or mood music, is played, using a combination of conventional, lower tempo and pace tabla beats. This gives strength to her individual storyline, which is a more typical Bollywood love story, and is noticeable in particular in scenes with her love interest, a wedding organiser named Dube. It also helps to establish the nature of her character, which also is more traditional, using only Hindi and Punjabi to speak with unlike other characters who also use English, which once again shows a Western influence although Nair herself did not write the script.

The reason why they have so many different dates is due to the fact that he probably wasn't born in a hastpital and they did not use to keep good records of black
