Vrindavana Vilasini Rai ( Padavali / padabali kirtan )

The cult of kirtan originated in Bengal with chaitanya mahaprabhu . Over years composers , saints and bards composed many songs based on Radha-Krishna lore and devotional topics . They were sung in a wide variety of styles , different pitches and different rythms . Taking inspiration from Dhrupad , hindustani musical forms and bengali folk , kirtans are a complete genre in itself .

Great clip, thanks for posting! What movies is this from? And do you know who the musical director was for this film?

[halleygoswami]

@ekacakra the movie is named raikamal . it is based on a bengali novel which describes love affair between a young couple from a remote vaishnav village in bengal . the film is laden with such kirtans . i cant remember the music director right now ...i will have to recheck . thanks for watching . :)

So good to see this, thanks for posting. Such a sweet version of this song.

[halleygoswami]

@chaula1 yes . in the film it is shown as baul . i think it contains elements of both baul and padavali kirtan .

it is quite famous in bengal , specially among vaishnava circles . the actual version is much longer and the parrots go on fighting .
