The track "Dil Ki Doya" is taken from the album "Chillout Moods - CD 5". The original albums name is "Real Sugar" (Label Real World) from Paban Das Baul and Sam Mills. Traditional songs and percussion, blended with Western style guitar and structure, very appealing to the open minded listener. An exciting, worthwhile and rewarding collaboration. The rich and melodic musical tradition of India's Bengali region is given a modern sensibility by Paban Das Baul, a master of the dubki (a small tambourine) and a hypnotic vocalist. Synthesizing Tantric Buddhism, Baishnavism and Sufism. Das Baul has created worldwide attention for his trance inspiring performances. Listen & Enjoy it.

Information about "Bauls" finding on Internet:
The Bauls are Bengal's mystical wandering minstrels, keepers of a carnivalesque rave culture that is more than five centuries old. An anarchic sect of nomads, outcastes and ascetics, they have preserved a series of esoteric spiritual teachings which have been passed down for generations. They are regarded by many as being mentally unhinged by their asceticism - in Bengali the word Baul means 'mad' or 'possessed'; in the villages of West Bengal they are described as 'holy fools'; in Calcutta they are described as 'God's troubadours'. They refer to each other as 'khepa', meaning 'furious'. Carrying hand drums and simple stringed instruments, they travel Bengal's farms and villages, temples and shrines, bus-stops and wells, performing songs of love, desire and mysticism, carrying nothing but a patchwork quilt. They literally sing for their supper most nights.

They are a subversive sect who take great delight in flouting the taboos of Bengali society, happily defying all distinctions of caste or religion. In a region awash with Islamic fundamentalism, right-wing Hindu nationalism and a particularly chaotic brand of Marxism, the Bauls mix the mystical Islam of Sufism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Vaishanvism and Tantra. For them God resides in the heart of the individual - the body IS the temple.

  • what a dichotomy between 'tana tani' and 'music of the honey gatherer'. One is classic and the other is cheap 'made for selling record'. I welcome you to listen to both and extrapolate your own decision
