Music of the People - Part Two

In the fourth episode of Soumik Datta's musical journey around India, he is in Bengal where he encounters Baul singers, part of a tradition of wandering musicians, mystic minstrels whose music is intended to spread a message of spiritual enlightenment. And in the deserts of Rajasthan, he discovers how the rich folk heritage of the region is drawing tourists from around the world and helping sustain communities. Throughout his journey, he marvels at how the music of ordinary people continues to play an important role in their lives and reflects the challenges facing communities across India as they adapt to a fast-changing world.
