Baul Meets Saz

Baul culture is a mix of the devotional Bhakti streams in Islamic and Hindu cultures in the Indian subcontinent. It has had strong presence in Bengal since ancient times. Baul philosophy comes from our conscious knowledge, built through several generations who observed life with great compassion. The inner tranquility is achieved once you have gone beyond music.

The tradition of the poetry seeks its inspiration in texts that proclaim the unification of the divine with human love.

Baul Meets Saz is more than a musical performance, it is a cultural and spiritual journey. This musical exploration highlights the unification and overlap of two distinct traditions: the mystical Bengali tradition of the Bauls and the aşiks. The music serves as a unique platform for the profound lyrics, which contain a mix of both Hindu and Islamic symbolism, highlighting themes of unification between human love and the divine.
