Wandering Singers:
Wandering singers are a band of folk musicians who wander from village to village to spread their music. Their music usually carry strong messages of love/activism/societal issues etc. They use music as a medium of their expression, as it reaches people of all ages and classes easily. They do not have any particular place as home - the whole world is their home. Naidu has written a poem about such wandering singers.
