The Baul singers are traditionally wandering minstrels singing their particular form of folk music. Parvathy Baul is one of the few female sadhikas (practitioners) who performs songs for the general public. Sawan Khan is a traditional Folk and Sufi singer, who has dedicated his life to keep the oral tradition of the Thar Desert alive.
