Bengal Foundation is pleased to present a rendition of Lalon’s song, "Pare ke jabi", by Shofi Mandal.
A distinguished Lalon singer and teacher, Mandal was born in 1953 at Daulatpur, Kushtia, and was raised in a milieu of spiritual music. His father, the late Maolana Ahad Ali Mandal, was fourth in the line of disciples of Fakir Lalon Shai. In this recording the artist is accompanied by Sumon Kumar Badh on the Tabla, Rana Ahmed on the Flute, Zohurul Islam on the Harmonium, Sohel Khan on Percution and Ananda Shikdar on the Dotara.
Lalon Shah (1774-1890) lived in the village of Chheuriya, near Kushtia, Bangladesh. He was a living embodiment of the Baul tradition, who yearned for spiritual enlightenment, but rejected blind faith. In that sense, he was both a mystic and a revolutionary- and it is only through navigating the nuances of this connection does his philosophy truly begin to make sense. Baul music is, thus, a music employed to probe the inherent divinity of the body, search within the self for meaning, and discover moner manush (The Man of My Heart). But it is also one of awakening for the underclass, of resistance, of class consciousness, and a pursuit of life that is pure and beautiful.
Lalon envisioned a society where all religions and beliefs would coexist in harmony. He inspired and influenced many poets and thinkers, including Rabindranath Tagore, Allen Ginsberg, Kazi Nazrul Islam, among others. Of the numerous songs attributed to Lalon, only about 800 are generally considered authentic. He left no written records of his works, which were transmitted orally and only later transcribed by his followers.
