Topic: Lalon Fokir


  
  Lalon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lalon Fokir (Bangla: লালন ফকির) (1774-1890), also known as Lalon Shah was born in an obscure village in the district of Kushtia, now in Bangladesh.
One of the greatest mystic-singers the Indian subcontinent has ever produced, Lalon was one of the most radical and secular voice in India during British colonial rule which also witnessed increased miscommunication between Hindus and Muslims.
Always opposed to casteism, sectarianism, and colonialism, Lalon represents and exemplifies the true revolutionary and secular nature of his community known as "Baul", a community of low-class, illiterate, wandering singers whose wisdom and wit do not come from academic training, but from an active contact with a life intensely lived.

Some sounded like quickly arranged marriage of Western music with Baul lyrics, the background music didn't add any life to the lyrics in these cases.
I would recommend this CD to serious Baul music fans like me, but if you are looking for an introductory Baul album then you will be much better off buying a Lalon Fokir, kirton or "Marefoti" music.
I don't know when Amazon will start selling them.
