Budhuu, perhaps sometime we should start a thread on Indian folk songs in general. The next couple of months are very busy, but when I have some more time, I would love to share some of the Indian folk songs I know.

Have you heard of the 15th century mystic poet, Kabir? His poetry is sung in many parts of country as part of the folk tradition, and in the last few years, Shabnam Virmani, a film-maker, has been documenting this music and interpreting it artistically through her own films and music.

It is truly wonderful music!
