A Baul is a man always on the road.
A Baul is a madman; that is the meaning of the word'Baul'.
Baul music is mystical,
it's viewed as a cultural heritage and a philosophy of life.
Baul songs incorporate simple words expressing
songs with deeper meanings involving creation, society, lifestyle and human emotions.
If God is ready to sing, the Baul is ready to take His
song as far as he can-- but he himself cannot sing.
It is not very common in
West Bengal for little girls to practice Baul music- though there are women Baul singers too,
they are fewer than men.
