Courtesan songs and music of the Bauls

Available for over a year

In search of music performed for Krishna, Lucy Duran and the musician Viram Jasani find themselves in a brothel in Kolkata, India. Squeezed into a sleazy little bed-sit, two courtesan sisters perform songs for the Hindu Deity, rarely recorded and normally reserved for their paying clients. Plus the mad world of the Bauls – music by the tantric philosophers of rural Bengal.
