The Rise of Shyama Sangeet in Bengal: Domestication of the Ferocious Kali Through Songs

Ramprasad Sen (1718-1775) wrote and composed almost 300 Shakta songs in Bengali dedicated to Maa Kali. Other poets like Kamalakanta Bhattacharya, Mahendranath Bhattacharya were other notable poets who followed Ramprasad Sen. Their written poems were sung and performed in the villages and they later found their way to the cities. Shyama Sangeet is one of the most integral parts of Bengali culture. This experience has found a continuous representation in all his songs. He wrote songs for farmers, businessmen mirroring the social crises, debts that a common man has. These brought in the social and economic aspects of the Bengal province of Colonial India. The rise of these songs took place in an extremely volatile political state. On one level, it was used as a tool for creating an anti-Mughal attitude on the other level it created an anti- colonial mindset by grasping the roots of power and motherhood of the nation. -

Ramprasad Sen - Poems
Classic Poetry Series Ramprasad Sen - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Ramprasad Sen(1718 - 1775) Ramprasad Sen was a Shakta poet of eighteenth century Bengal. His bhakti poems, known as Ramprasadi, are still popular in Bengal—they are usually addressed to the Hindu goddess Kali and written in Bengali. Stories of Ramprasad's life typically include legends and myths mixed with biographical details. It is said that, Ramprasad was born into a Tantric family, and showed an inclination towards poetry from an early age. He became a disciple of Agamavisha, a Tantric scholar and yogi. Ramprasad became well known for his devotional songs, eventually becoming the court poet for the king Krishna Chandra of Nadia. His life has been the subject of many stories depicting his devotion to, and relationship with, Kali. Ramprasad's literary works include Vidyasundar, Kali-kirtana, Krishna-kirtana and Shaktigiti. Ramprasad is credited with creating a new compositional form that combined the Bengali folk style of Baul music with classical melodies and kirtan. The new style took root in Bengali culture with many poet-composers combining folk and raga- based melodies, mixing every common style of music from classical to semi- classical and folk. His songs are sung today, with a popular collection—Ramprasadi Sangit ("Songs of Ramprasad")—sold at Shakta temples and pithas in Bengal. <b>Biography</b> Biographies of Ramprasad are a mixture of biography, metaphor, and legend. <b>Early Life</b> Ramprasad was born in Halisahar, a village on the banks of the Ganges about thirty-five miles north of Kolkata, into a Tantric Vaidya-Brahmin family. -
Transcreations by Tagore a Music Program by Bodhi, IIT Kanpur
Transcreations by Tagore A Music Program by Bodhi, IIT Kanpur Introduction For Tagore, the initial training of setting his lyrics to a tune started at a very young age with his beloved Jyoti-dada (Jyotirindranath Tagore). Jyoti Dada would create tunes on Piano. He and Akshay Babu would set lyrics to these tunes. What started as a playful exercise would eventually bloom into a separate genre known as Rabindrasangeet. Based on the poetic themes, Tagore songs are typically divided into five categories: Prakriti, Puja, Prem, Swadesh and Bichitro. There may be sub-divisions such as, songs belonging to Prakriti may be sub-divided into six different seasons. In addition, there are several musical (or dance) drama and other collections of songs for special occasions (Anushthanik). Altogether, the collection Gitabitan has 2233 songs. Tagore songs have dual importance as poetry and music. One cannot be seen without the other. In his life, Tagore came in close contact with many different forms of music in different parts of India and the world. He liberally borrowed from all musical forms that he liked. He would often create melodies based on tunes he heard. Occasionally, the exact tune would be reflected in his song but that is rare. More often, he would adapt the tune to suit his lyrics and create the mood for his poetry. Thus, the word ‘Transcreation’ or creative transcription. The adaptations were always with creative musical modifications. Today, we celebrate the musical journey of Rabindranath Tagore by presenting samples of various genres of music that are reflected in Tagore songs. -
