Clip from the 1979 Embryo film "Vagabunden Karawane". One of many great performances included in the documentation of the band's journey from Germany to India via bus caravan. Embryo's Christian Burchard narrates the following: "The Baul musicians live outside the caste system which governs Indian culture. Like the Saddus, the Bauls reject possessions on religious grounds. They travel throughout India on foot carrying only their musical instrument. The Bauls create their songs spontaneously in front of their audience. They want to transport their public into another world." Embryo's website: www.embryo.de

Nov 18, 2008 - Wow, that's very young Paban Das Baul singing "Paro Janome ..." -- his singing was so fresh and real. Thanks for the video. Took me back to my early college days when I was fortunate enough to hear him and many other amazing Baul singers in and around the campus.
