Sahaj Ma Utpal Fakir – NABC2010

Listen to an interview with Sahaj Ma and Utpal Fakir – a couple who has taken Bengal’s folk tradition to newer heights. They have given it a fresh sound while respecting the traditions. NABC2010 at Atlantic City will be their maiden Banga Sammelan and the couple promise to captivate all with their simple yet potent mix of Baul and other folk songs. Bickram Ghosh pointed out in our earlier podcast episode that the incredibly talented Sahaj Ma mixes with ease the freedom of Baul with an urban sophistication.
