Abstract | India’s vast culture and traditions have led to a diversity of Indian folk songs. All around the nation it is sung in many different dialects and languages. Folk songs of Bengal are an enthralling fusion of tradition, emotion, culture and artistic expression. A tangible depiction of Bengal’s everyday life, struggles, beliefs and joy is painted with every song. These folk songs are more than just catchy melodies, it represents the heartfelt manifestation of a rich and diverse cultural legacy. Every song has its own story. Every rhythm narrates a story about the land and its inhabitants, weaving a melodious tapestry that embodies the actual essence of Bengal. These folk songs be it the spiritual baul or be it the reflective Bhatiali or Sari song, carry the significance of the cultural identity of Bengal and still continue to influence contemporary music and art form. The understanding of the socio-cultural landscape of the terrain is improved by the folk songs of Bengal which provide an insight into the cultural aspects of the area. Bhatiali and Sari songs, mostly performed by boatmen, and through these songs the image of Bengal’s riverine life is revealed. The songs are harmonic and catchy in tone and often revolved around nature, rivers and the fishermen’s lives. Nevertheless, as time has gone on, globalization, urbanization, modernization and westernization have made this kind of Bengali folk music confront the difficulties of the modern era. The purpose of this paper is to explore an in-depth analysis of Bengali Sari and Bhatiali songs, their cultural relevance and their impact on modern music. |
