Mori Ki Koler Bati/Lamp of Eternity

\"Mori Ki Koler Bati\" (Lamp of Eternity) is the sixth track from the collaborative studio album Paban Das Baul and Jonny Wartel. Swedish multi-instrumentalist Jonny Wartel and Bengali Baul folk singer Paban Das Baul co-created the composition. The album appeared on May 1, 2003 under the independent label Gravitation in CD format.

The track blends Baul folk traditions with contemporary production techniques. Paban Das Baul contributed vocals and played the ektara, a single-stringed drone instrument central to Baul music. Wartel provided instrumentation that included guitar, keyboards and electronic textures. The lyrics draw from Baul philosophy, employing metaphorical imagery of light and eternity. The song’s duration spans approximately seven minutes, featuring an extended improvisational section.

The album Paban Das Baul and Jonny Wartel marked a cross-cultural exchange between Scandinavian experimental music and the devotional folk traditions of rural Bengal. Gravitation released the project as a single-disc CD with no additional editions documented. Track sequencing positioned \"Mori Ki Koler Bati\" as the midpoint of the album’s ten compositions. No commercial singles or music videos accompanied the release. Live performances of the material occurred in Europe during 2003–2004, though no official recordings of these concerts exist in public archives.

Critical reception of the album noted its fusion of minimalist arrangements with Baul’s spiritual themes, though specific reviews of \"Mori Ki Koler Bati\" remain undocumented in major publications. The collaboration reflected Wartel’s ongoing engagement with non-Western musical forms, while Paban Das Baul’s participation introduced Baul music to a broader international audience. The track’s legacy persists in discussions of 2000s world fusion projects, though its commercial impact was limited by the niche appeal of both artists’ work.
