If you want a whole history and explanation about the Bauls, then go look at wikipedia. There's just a lot of stuff to write about this, and really, I don't have that much of an interest in writing that article. All you need to know about this is given to you by the album title. It's Indian street music. Either you have an interest in this, or you don't. It's part of the nonesuch explorers series, if that means anything to you. 
When it comes to describing non-Western music I can get a little lost sometimes. My knowledge on these subjects just isn't up to snuff, but that doesn't mean I don't thoroughly enjoy it. And this is an odd one (I think). From what I gather, this is an important release due to the fact that it was one of the first experiments in combining traditional Persian music with electronics. So in light of some of the recent posts that dealt with electronic experiments, this seemed like the right time to post it. Very relaxing.
