Nimai, a beautiful Baul singer from the town of Bolpur, West Bengal, India. I filmed this outside his tiny Ashram with one of his disciples accompanying Nimai while he plays the Dotara. An excerpt from my film "Moner Manush" by Harry Matthews

  • Very beautiful, indeed. Did you record this in Bolpur during the yearly festival in January?

  • Hi,

    I did film this in Bolpur, but not during the festival. I was hanging out with Nimai at his house (his ashram) when we filmed this... he is amazing...

  • I know that Purna das baul's son (he is not baul at all, only cheating businessman) is cheated and cheating many poor bauls too, you can have informetion in santiniketan and birbhum, many bauls told me too. As I have good reletion, and also know some bauls personaly. As Purna das baul is known and legend, for that his son is taking many advantage from government through some ministers(Grahmin mela, lokogeeti, etc.). And cheating amount from poor baul/fokir fees.

  • it litrerally means i build a house in someone elses property , i am not the owner of the house.

  • love this, this is what making music means. it touches the heart and connects the soul to a realistic and yet a trance-like state sometimes. this type of music connects people to their roots. mashAllah very well done. <3 artists like this

  • Beee-utiful

  • Great song... meaning is rite... yup ALLAH own's it....

  • I listened this song today a minimum of 50 times -- Baul songs are great, same applies to this fine artist.

  • Like this dotara music

  • its mostly about owning property and stuff.. how it is someone elses, and etc..

    than how owners are like assholes.. etc..
