Kabir 3rd day – Parvathy Baul
Parvathy Baul is a singer, painter and storyteller from West Bengal. After receiving her initial music and dance training during her childhood, she studied visual arts at the Kala Bhavan at Shantiniketan, the university founded by Rabindranath Tagore. Meeting with the living tradition of Baul prompted her to choose the path of self-training in the Baul order rather than an institutional degree.
Impressive beauty, personality and intensity of her devotional chanting and rotating dance, make her unique.
