About this recording
- Title as given by the source
- There was Arnold Bake’s footage of kirtan that we had taken to show to the kirtaniyas of Mainadal in 2014 and the then oldest singer of the Mitra Thakur family, Sri Manikchand Mitra Thakur (died 2018), had said that perhaps the singers in Bake’s film were from Muluk village (not far from Bolpur-Sriniketan). Musicians are seen playing multiple instruments including the shinga (the S-shaped horn) and shanai (shehnai), and a violin and khol (clay drum played with the hands) and dhak (played with sticks), and it looks like a veritable orchestra. There are singers too.
