In Praise of Krishna - Part Two

The search for music in praise of Krishna in India

In search of music performed for Krishna, Lucy Duran and the musician Viram Jasani find themselves in a brothel in Kolkata, India. Two courtesan sisters perform songs for the Hindu Deity, rarely recorded and normally reserved for their paying clients. Plus the eccentric world of the Bauls – music by the tantric philosophers of rural Bengal.
