The Baul Dimension Experience Part 1


I visited Dhaka in Bangladesh twice . The French foreign Ministry has helped me to setup my trip. Mr Raynouart and Mr Steyer, cultural advisors for the French Embassy of Dhaka, gave me a great support as well.

As soon as i landed the first time in Dhaka, I was chocked by the poverty, pollution, huge traffic, overcrowded city.
However, day after day, moving from place to another, I found out that everybody I bumped into was smiling, warm and friendly. To understand my impressions be free to watch "Positive Bangla"
This video I've made with my shoots of smiling people on the streets of Dhaka.
The 2 times I've recorded in Dhaka, my Friend Bari Siddiqui gave me a big help for organize the recordings sessions.

Bari is a very famous flautist and singer in the country. He is an incredible artist who has gigs all around the world and he also makes music for Bangladeshi movies. Bari helped me in selecting some of the best musicians on the place: Firuz Khan, Norul Haque, Rita, Sonil, Rabindra Svatil Paul, Sheik Jasim and some other great musicians. You can listen to all of them through many of my tunes.
