Music
Music in Bangladesh can he divided into three distinct categories - classical. folk and modern. Classical music-both vocal and instrumental is rooted in the remote past of the sub-continent. Folk music nurtured through the ages by village-poets and rich in devotional mysticism and love-lore is very popular. The best known forms are Bhatiali, Baul, Marthti, Murshidi and Bhawaiya. Modern Bengali Music has blended Western and Middle-eastern traits with traditional forms. Contemporary music has an inclination towards the West.
