Because Rishon Kahn, the man behind Lokkhi Terra, also wanted to put Bengali traditional music in the spotlight, he called on his good friend, dhol player Nazrul Islam, who in turn started looking for the right musicians (Jalal Ahmed - bansuri flute, Mokaddes Ali - dotara, Bappi - dupki/tablas, Biju - ektara, Baul Rob Fakir, Labik Kamal Gaurob and Dewan Baby Akhtar - vocals) which would eventually make up Shikor Bangladesh Allstars. 'Soul Of Bengal' contains mostly interpretations of the work of the nineteenth-century poet and mystic Lalon Shah, who radically rejected all distinction in caste and religion. Fascinating glimpse into the little-known world of traditional Bengali music.
