Baul music is one of the folk song styles of Bengal, India. It is minimal in its instrumental part, the basic beats given by a one string instrument, called the ektara (literally, one string). This album has take the Baul style and added hip-hop music on it. Experimental. Too much music in my opinion.
Track 1: Heavily instrumental, drowns the vocals. One beat perseveres throughout.
Track 2: Solid vocals with just enough music. Resembles the original Baul style. Recommended
Track 3: Vocals are good. Low tempo. Again more music than needed.
Track 4: Fast paced music. Mid tempo.
Track 5: Weird but cool music. Very hip-hop, with the unique ektara sound.
Track 6: Techno touches. Heavy beats. Vocals get repressed.
Track 7: Pure strumming and sound vocals. Low tempo. My favorite.
Track 8: Mid tempo. Good beats. Vocals backgrounded.
Track 9: Low tempo with basic music.
Track 10: Ektara, basic beats with some techno sounding beats. Low tempo.
Track 11: Mid tempo, smoky vocals. Repetetive beats.
Track 12: Nice instrumental beginning, low tempo singing. Picks up pace.
