"Paban Das Baul and Jonny Wartel
Gravitation, Sweden (www.gravitation.nu)

In the wake of the highly successful collaboration of Swedish fiddler Ellika Frissell and Senegalese kora player Solo Cissokho (whose Tretakt Takissaba (MNW/Xource) won the 2003 BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music in the 'boundary crossing' category) comes another set of Nordic connections, this time with Bengali singer Paban Das Baul and an ensemble of Swedish jazz musicians led by saxophonist Jonny Wartel.

This is how to "do fusion." The Bengali and the Swede collude, collide and compose a unique and somtimes shocking new music, an east-meets-north variant that is sometimes brilliant, occasionally frustrating, but absolutley never boring.

fRoots' Ian Anderson calls it "Seriously impressive." I agree. "

“ Pavon Das is Baul…

To be Baul is to be crazed by the wind…
The Bauls lives in West- and East- Bengal.
I met Pavon in the beginning of the 80`s in Paris more or less by chance…
A close friendship developed and soon I found myself in India travelling in West-Bengal with Pavon.
Through Pavon, I got to know other Bauls and with them, we played at festivals, in villages, at friends homes, in rich homes in Calcutta, in different ashrams, on the streets, on the roof tops of busses in full speed etc.etc.
Always playing… always on the road… never any plans that couldn`t be changed by the wind.

I did have one plan and that was to make a CD with Pavon where his and my music would meet.
Due to a the budget it had to be a CD without any other musicians involved...
But, like all plans with Pavon our plans were changed and we spontaneously invited them after all…. (they had never heard about Baul before).
We had little time so we started recording on the first note…and everything we recorded is now released on this CD…an uncensored document of east meeting west …
I am very happy with the results and eager to continue our journey…
New plans are being made…. which we will naturally not follow….meanwhile the wind is growing stronger …
