Bangla Baul Gaan || Amer Buka Ghor Bandia Prem Koro ||
The Baul (Bengali) are a group of mystic minstrels from Bengal
which includes Indian State of West Bengal and the country of Bangladesh.
Bauls constitute both a syncretic religious sect and a musical tradition.
Bauls are a very heterogeneous group, with many sects, but their membership
mainly consists of Vaishnava Hindus and Sufi Muslims.[1][2] They can often
be identified by their distinctive clothes and musical instruments.
Not much is known of their origin. Lalon Fokir is regarded as the
most important poet-practitioner of the Baul tradition.Baul music had a
great influence on Rabindranath Tagore's poetry and on his music.
