The Travelling Archive is a journey through the folk music of Bengal. It is run by Calcutta-based Bengali singer, writer and researcher, Moushumi Bhowmik, and sound recordist and sound designer, Sukanta Majumdar. They have been making field recordings of songs and stories across Bangladesh and eastern India, even the Bengali diaspora in East London, since 2003; documenting and disseminating their research through archives, presentation-performances, art works, and their own independent record label and web site. Moushumi and Sukanta get out there, travel all over, become friends and live with the musicians, record them in their homes and villages, on their rivers, in their tea shops and work fields. Bengal, which includes Calcutta, India, Dhaka, Bangladesh, and more than 250 million people, is an amazingly diverse yet unique region, home to some of the largest cities in the world and plenty of uncategorizable and diverse folk music, including those wandering minstrels, the Bauls. The music and instrumentation presented on this LP features solo voice and chorus vocals, harmonium, dotara (four-string fretless lute), ektara (traditional one-string drone instrument), dugi (small kettle drum), bamboo flute, violin, and even an empty popcorn tub played like a drum. This is a diverse and magnificent sampling of what remains a massive archive of folk music from this region and Sublime Frequencies hopes to continue to release additional volumes in the future. Produced for Sublime Frequencies by Robert Millis, this limited edition LP comes in a tip-on heavy jacket with insert containing liner notes and photos.

Not bad so far
Size: Small, Color: Light Yellow
mixed feelings about the quality... only worn/washed once and there are some dangling threads which I had to cut off which might lead to further degradation of longevity etc. The fit is a bit snug between S and M, I chose small regarding the closest fit to my chest size but it's ok. The fabric is thin so if you are a guy that doesn't mind showing off your form and fitness this shirt is flattering. The fabric is texture, light and thin so there is comfort regarding the lightness of wearing it. One could go a size larger for looser fit and more comfort but I actually like the tighter fit.

Perfect summer shirt...
Size: 3X-Large, Color: White
I am one that ALWAYS look at the 1 star reviews first. When I brought this shirt I did not... I brought 4 more in different colors. I have now looked at the 1 star reviews and I have to disagree.. Most say they are too thin. When it's 90 - 100 degrees outside this shirt is PERFECT.. It is airy and relaxing. I found it to be also perfect in size. I came back to order more but they don't have a few colors I am looking for. This worked for me all the way around..

Flattering and classy
Size: Medium, Color: White
Thin but I love it that way. Is not overly wrinkled after ironing but wrinkles terribly when washed. Fits well not tight or too loose. Buy your exact size. The white is very classy.

Very Thin, low quality, runs small
Size: Medium, Color: Light Green
Way too thin. It's completely see-through, and the fit runs small. I forgot to return it and wound up giving it away to Goodwill.

Size: Medium, Color: White
Nice shirt but pretty see through. Worked for what we needed it too. Washed well and will use again next summer.
