Music of Bangladesh
Everybody likes music. We hear various kind of music. But Bangla music has a glorious history. The music of Bangladesh can be broadly categorized among the following genres:
Classical:
Bangla classical is like the classical music in the rest of the Indian sub-continent, it is based on modes called ragas (rag, in Bangla). All traditional Bangla music is based on classical music or on its variations. Some of the most talented classical musicians of the sub-continent come from Bangladesh including Pandit Ravi Shankar, Ustad Allauddin Khan, Ustad Ayet Ali Khan, Ustad Abed Hossain Khan and so on.
Rabindra Sangeet:
Rabindra Sangeet is one of the best-known genres of Bangla music outside Bengal. The main origin of Rabindra Sangeet is from the works of Nobel laureate poet, novelist and play writer, Rabindranath Tagore. (Rabindra Sangeet literally)
Nazrul Geeti:
Nazrul Geeti, literally meaning "music of Nazrul", is the works of Kazi Nazrul Islam, national poet of Bangladesh and active revolutionary during Indian independence movement. Unlike Rabindra Sangeets mentioned above, Nazrul geetis incorporate revolutionary notions as well as more spiritual and philosophical themes. Islam used his music as a major way of disseminating his revolutionary notions, mainly by the use of strong words and powerful, but catchy, tunes. Among the revolutionary songs, Karar Oi Louho Kopat (Prison-doors of Steel) is best known and has been used several movies - especially those made during the pre-independence period of Bangladesh.
Folk:
Bangla folk music has a long history. Several people contributed to what has become one of the most important musical influences in lives of Bengalis on both sides of the (West Bengal-Bangladesh) border. Among these are Lalon Fokir, Hason Raja and Ramesh Shill. Abbas Uddin was a key player in popularizing folk music later on.
Hason Raja:
Hason Raja makes some awesome music..People can catch his music vary easily. All folk songs are characterized by simple musical structure and words. Before advent of radio, stage performances of folk singers used to be possibly the only entertainment for the vast rural population of Bengal. After arrival of new communication and digital media, many of the folk songs were modernized and incorporated into modern songs (Adhunik Songeet).
Lalon:
Lalon geeti is the work of composer and philosopher, Lalon Shah (also known as Lalon Fokir). Most of his songs are extensions of Baul geeti. However, his songs are always more philosophical in nature, involving greater thought about abstract themes.
Lalon geeti originated in Kushtia and has been popularized throughout the two Bengals (West Bengal and Bangladesh) by various artists. Among the proponents of Lalon geeti, Farida Parveen is particularly worth mentioning for her extensive work in modernizing tunes.
New wave of Bangladeshi folk music:
Fakir Alamgir, Firoz Shai, Momtaz, Kangalini Sufiya and Kuddus Boyati set notions of revitalizing Bangladeshi folk music. Their immense popularity showed that despite Western influence, Bangladeshis still thoroughly enjoyed their own music.
