Thread Name: Folklore: Kali Dasgupta songs online
Subject: Folklore: Kali Dasgupta songs online
Late in the year 2000 in Calcutta (now Kolcata), I made enquiries about Indian workers songs and trade union songs. My contacts directed me to folk song collector and singer Kali Dasgupta. When I returned to Australia in 2001 I started building a website to help make Kali's work better known ...
Seven years later (and 2 years after Kali died) the site has the contents of five CDs that have been made of Kali and others singing about 90 of the thousands of songs that Kali collected in Eastern India
