My family has no connection to Baul
But when I was studying in Shantiniketan and
I met my master who was performing at our college
where I was studying
I thought it was a complete (art form)
Singing and dancing
And while he was telling the story of Radha
I could see everything Brindavan, Yamuna
And trees, flowers everything I could see
So I thought it was very spontaneous
It was like a painting in... space
Creating the whole image
and visual, through his voice
Simple voice and
one string instrument.
And as I saw him afterwards, I followed him
I thought it was the best thing for me
Actually, I don't know if you know but
Bob Dylan at one point of time
was very, very inspired by Baul
And he had been very close with one of our very senior singers
His name is Purnadas Baul
And even now they are very close
Purnadas lived with him in the US
and he came to Kolkatta.
