Product Description
The second in the series of collaborations, this EP takes the listener back to the beginning, capturing the first musical meetings between both bands. The period when long term Lokkhi Terra collaborator and Dhol Maestro Nazrul Islam (based in Dhaka), introduced his musical inner circle to the visiting Lokkhi Terra musicians. Friendships were forged, and musical conversations were explored. One singer stood out in particular – Dewan Baby Akthar.
Featuring songs by the great Bangladeshi mystics Baul Lalon Shai and Baul Abdul Karim.
