SVF Music has launched a documentary featuring internationally-acclaimed Baul singer Parvathy Baul, marking her first collaboration with the label.

The project seeks to capture the essence of Baul songs, transitioning from the traditional ‘Baul akhra’ to the screen. Helmed by Subhadeep Guha with vocals and curation by Parvathy Baul herself, the three-part documentary comes alongside five previously unheard songs.

The documentary delves into the intricacies of Baul music, sharing the challenges of sustaining the art form. She also explains the essence of each song. Highlighting her own Sanatan Siddhashram, the documentary vividly illustrates the practice and spiritual depth of Baul music.

“It is not just a project to us; it was a dream for us that we present Baul to the world in this manner. We have been preparing this project for the last one year. My first work with Subhadeep Guha, didn't feel that way as we both completed the project hand in hand. His music directorial expertise and the contribution of each musician has enhanced the songs in various ways. I hope this project will be an asset as a documentation of Baul way of living,” Parvathy Baul said.

“Working closely with Parvathy Baul, that too with a subject like Baul music, is a lifetime experience. As a team, we have worked very hard to maintain the authenticity of each song and bring out the root essence of Baul music,” Subhadeep said.
