by Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das Baul for his fathers cultural programs worldwide in the late 1970's. All Bauls follow this one and only lineage / Guru Shishya Parampara Sampradaya. This is the only Das Baul and Dasi lineage, they follow their songs, style, dress, where they go and what they have accomplished.
This is a video of a Concert that "Babukishan aka Krishnendu Das Baul" arranged at Rabindra Sadan in Calcutta.
He arranged the concert in honor of his 'Grandfather' Guru, 'Nabani Das Khyapa Baul'.
This is Babu Kishan's video, he is the one who recorded it for the preservation, of "The Bauls of Bengal" to bring his family together.
His father Purna Das Baul is singing, along with his 2 uncles Laxshman and Chakradar DAS Baul.
Babu Kishan's aunt Radharani Dasi is sitting on the floor in a white Sari singing, and at the far end his mother Manju Dasi is playing the Harmonium and singing, she is the first and only Baul Women who has traveled around the world many times at a time when travel was not easy or simple as it is today, she traveled from 1960's through to 2010.
No Baul Women has done what she has done as the first and last Baul Women.
Babu Kishan has an extensive library of rare recordings that he had stored in his home in Calcutta, it was surprising to see this video uploaded without his consent to this Youtube page?
This video is the intellectual and creative property of Babu Kishan.
How and why it was released is the question?
Response:
as to why KD Babu Kishan's video was posted.
"We uploaded it because, they sick and tired of seeing so many clips of people who call themselves “Bauls" and are NOT.
Purna Das is great, and I did not see any clips of him that show how great his is.
In fact, some of them make him look old and haggard.
Baba (Purna Das Baul) is beautiful and great – so, that’s why I put up the clip."
