They have regularly collaborated and actively engaged with the well-known experts of this genre of music, namely, Kanaidas Baul, Laxmandas Baul, Radheshyamdas Baul, Arman Fakir with the aim of learning and experiencing their philosophy. They’ve then tried to preserve the essence of this ancient musical art-form by recreating the same using a combination of traditional and modern instruments to maintain its authenticity yet make it more appealable to the masses.
