About this recording

Title as given by the source
More importantly, he asked me, why was I looking for these places and people? What would I do with this knowledge? And then I had to think very hard. How to answer such a easily-worded but extremely difficult question? I talked about the flow from Bake’s voices to his own and how with the voices of Bake we cannot know who the people were, but they were real people, like you and me. And so I want to know who the voices belonged to. Just as it is important for people to know who you are, I told Habibur Rahaman.
