Abstract

There is no denying the fact that folk music of Bangladesh plays a vital role in representing a diverse cultural hybridization. It is also very closely connected to the emotional phase of the people as it not only stirs emotions but also tells tales of common people. With the accompaniment of the musical instruments, it has a universal appeal. Besides, folk music of Bangladesh is one of the good examples of a ‘Nation-Thing. A ‘Nation-Thing’ is something that belongs to only one particular group or community of people. It represents itself from every aspect of life, art and culture of a nation in front of other countries of the world nationally as well as internationally. Above all, it is connected to a community’s way of life, their traditions and social practices, rituals and myths. In this article my intention is to explore how folk songs play a dynamic role in representing Bangladeshi art and culture in different ways.
