About this recording

Title as given by the source
‘I have talked with many of them, they have different opinions [bhinno mot]. Rahamat Ali Boyati of Hossainpur (80), said it might be Shahi Modina, an old puthi, but I have not heard of such a book. Then Lal Mahmud had said it could be the Taale Modina, but I don’t know that one either. We have to find the original book. They are illiterate poets [nirokkhor kobi], you see, but they have the song in them [shur ase] and will sing out the words, but they can’t read and that is the problem’.
