South Asia has too many colorful nations and they owned different culture from the very beginning. Folk music is like a treasure of South Asian culture. According to history, South Asian people established themselves here as a nation (Arya) before five thousand years from today and started to live with native people. So a perfect mixture of two ancient nations and their culture produced a new South Asia. This paper explores the massive changes that happened to South Asian folk music which creates several ways to correspond to their root and how they are different from each other. After many natural disasters and political changes, South Asian people faced many socio-economic conditions but there was the only way to share their feelings. They articulated their sorrows, happiness, wishes, prayers, and love with music, celebrated social and religious festivals all the way through music. As a result, bunches of folk music are being created with different lyric and tune in every corner of South Asia.

  • Wind Instruments of India
    Newsletter Archives www.dollsofindia.com Veena and Other Ancient Musical Instruments of India Copyright © 2016, DollsofIndia In our previous issue, we had brought you a detailed feature on the Veena and other ancient stringed musical instruments of India. As promised earlier, we now bring you the second part of the article, focusing on the ancient wind and percussive instruments of India. We are pleased by your positive response and feedback for the previous article and hope you enjoy this one as well. Wind Instruments of India We start our journey by exploring the most ancient wind instruments of India. Pungi/Been The Pungi, also commonly referred to as the Been, is one of the oldest wind instruments. It is predominantly played by snake charmers in India and Pakistan. Originally emerging as accompaniment to Indian folk music, it enjoys an important place in Indian art, culture and religion even in the present day. This instrument includes a mouth-blown air reservoir, which is made from dried bottle gourd. The neck is curved and at the other end, two reed or bamboo pipes are connected to one another. One of the pipes has seven holes – the player uses this to play the melody. The sound lasts as long as the player does not take pauses. The pungi, which is still a major part of Indian folk music and street shows, is also considered to be one of the ways by which one can communicate with the divine. Flute/Venu/Bansuri Flute The flute falls into the woodwind category. This is a reedless wind instrument, which produces sound from the flow of air via a small aperture.

  • SANGAT a CANVAS for MUSIC by Tahia Hayder Chowdhury
    SANGAT A CANVAS FOR MUSIC BY Tahia Hayder Chowdhury 09208002 SEMINAR II Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Architecture Department of Architecture BRAC University AUGUST 2014 ABSTRACT Music brings life to anyone and everyone. Music is a part of everyone. Even a person, who does not know anything about what music actually is, listens to music. The following project reflects how a proposed residential music college can be planned and designed. The project is an educational forum where different genres of music will be taught and the art of performance will be perfected. Through the blend of nature and harmony the place will also promote periodical performances for the public. The project is designed in such manner that certain spaces may be utilized for public gathering also. Architecture and music are correlated. Without hierarchy and harmony neither of them can place their identities. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would firstly like to thank Almighty Allah for providing me the knowledge for accomplishing this very project. I would also like to thank my parents, my family for without their support it would not have been possible. I am blessed to have such supportive and patient parents who have always been on my side. They have supported me throughout the last 5 years in pursuing my passion. I am grateful to all my teachers, fellow classmates, seniors and juniors who have helped me come across this long journey. Thank you everyone.
