Stamford University, Department of Architecture, Dhaka

Project idea

Folk Music songs and music of a community, uninfluenced by any sophisticated musical rules or any standard Music styles Bangladesh has
a rich folk music, which includes both religious and secular songs.

Folk music may be described as that type of ancient music, which springs
from the heart of a community, based on their natural style of expression,
uninfluenced by the rules of classical music and modern popular songs
Any mode or form created by the combination of tune, voice and dance
may be described as music Thus, the combination of folk song, folk
dance, and folk tune may be called folk music.

Starting in the mid 20 th century, a new form of popular folk music
evolved from traditional folk music This process and period is called the
( folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960 s This form of music is sometimes called contemporary folk music or folk revival music to distinguish it from earlier folk forms Smaller similar revivals have occurred elsewhere in the world at other times, but the term folk music
has typically not been applied to the new music created during those
revivals This type of folk music also includes fusion genres such as folk
rock, folk metal, electric folk, and others While contemporary folk music
is a genre generally distinct from traditional folk music, in English it shares the same name, and it often shares the same performers and venues as traditional folk music.
