The term "Joler Gaan" consists of two Bengali words which reflect ideals of the band. "Jol" means water and "Gaan" means music or song in Bengali. Together they mean "Music of Water".
The lyrics are based on human stories. Few lyrics are collected from various sources. Some songs are especially written. Joler Gaan makes new instruments and sometimes customizes foreign ones. The instruments of Joler Gaan are usually portable, and do not require electric wires and jacks.[1]
In 2006, the band participated in the World Sufi Festival, Glasgow, Scotland. Joler Gaan also performed around Scotland.[3] They played mystical spiritual songs of Old Masters. Joler Gaan performed in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.[4]
