Just About Everything

One of my favourite events of the year is the Baul mela that happens typically around the 9 th  and 10 th  of January, every year, in Shaktigarh, Jadavpur, Kolkata. If I am in town this is an event I never miss. Rarely do we get to see so many bauls coming together and performing in this event. Here is a clipping of a baul perfomer singing.If you like folk music, this one is for you! . 

I had the most wonderful weekend! Saw some great baul performances at the annual baul mela. It is organized at the Shaktigarh math in Jadavpur, Kolkata (WB), every year in January. This time thankfully it happened to be a weekend (January 5th-6th 2013)! Shaktigarh math looked like mini Shantiniketan. The highlight of course was baul performers mesmerizing the audience with wonderfully soulful compositions, and the mela with lots of food to gorge on, and handicrafts on sale from Shantiniketan. I am sharing a video of one of the baul performances.Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did.
