Subject: Describing the various types of Folk songs in Bangladesh.
Dear Rashed,
I feel very Delighted to write you. Hope you are well by the grace of the almighty. You have shown interest to know our cultures, especially folk songs, Now I'm writing about it in brief.
Folk Music is an old type of song that springs from the heart of a Community. It is not influenced by the rules of classical music and modern popular songs. Bangladesh has a wide range of Folk songs.
They are Baul, Jarigan, Bhawaiya, Gambhira, Sari, Bhatiyali, and Pastoral songs. The main characteristics of folk songs are; composed by rural folk, transmitted orally, and sung in groups or individually, regular practice is not essential. The main theme of folk songs is nature and the rural environment, the manifestation of the joys and sorrows of daily life, etc. But it is unfortunate to say that today people are losing interest in folk songs and opting for modern music.
No more Today. I hope you will write about the folk music of your country. Hope for the best.
Your Friend
Joy.
