Songs of the Bauls II by Purna Chandra Das is an exceptional album that showcases the rich and vibrant musical heritage of the Bauls of Bengal. The album features nine tracks, each of which is a beautiful blend of folk, classical, and devotional music.
The album opens with the track "Ami Kothay Pabo Tare," a beautiful rendition of a timeless Baul song that speaks of the search for the divine. The next track, "Bhromor Koiyo Giya," is a lively and energetic song that features the distinctive sound of the ektara, a one-stringed instrument that is a hallmark of Baul music.
Other highlights of the album include "Tomar Khola Hawa," a hauntingly beautiful song that showcases Purna Chandra Das's soulful voice, and "Jibon Jemon," a contemplative and introspective track that speaks of the fleeting nature of life.
