The cultures once were used to uphold the rich heritage of Bengal are now becoming obsolescent in this present digital. These were the means of entertainment of the then people. They are called 'Folk Arts' in Bengali language ' Lok Sanskriti'. Some of them are ' Bhadu Gaan' , 'Manasamongol pala', 'Bolan' , ' Jhapan Gaan' , 'Patchitra' etc. This channel is making a little effort to restore those culture again. Part 1 Gajan Festival (Posted late due to bad phone and voting festival, then the Corona situation was under control) Bolan Song We used to say a rhyme in childhood— ‘We two brothers sing Shiva's Gajan. Grandma has gone to Gaya, Kashi, playing the Duggudgi..’ A special part of the Shaivite culture of Radha Banga is ‘Gajan’. Gajan means (gaan = village, jan = people) and is the own festival of the people of the village. Another opinion is that the Bengali word Gajan is derived from the word Gorjan, so the festival is named like this because the monks participating in this festival roar loudly. Anyway, singing Shiva's gajan - it means Bolan song comes to mind. Bolan song is a type of regional folk song sung on the occasion of Shiva's gajan. This song is performed in a combination of dance-song-acting. The Bolan song group is formed by singers and musicians, men play the roles of dancers and singers in costumes. This group is led by a master. Bolan songs are composed in the form of pala. Its main subject is mythological stories. However, songs and panchali are also composed on social issues and contemporary events. For example, this year, the song was interrupted due to the Corona situation and lockdown, and I have given a video of it in this post. However, there is humor and light humor in the Rangpanchalit, but it does not reach the level of farce or obscenity. The Bolan song begins with a bandana song and later, through various dialogues in Panchali, a combination of dance, song and humor is performed in turn with a combination of theoretical words and dialogues. One of the features of this song is that at the end of the song, the name of the singer, the name of the musician, the residence of the group, i.e. where they came from to sing in the event. . Enthusiastic youths of the village form a group and rehearse in their free time in the evening. If there is a shortage of musicians somewhere, they are hired on the day of the event. After the Gajan festival, everyone returns to their work. Therefore, this group can be called a temporary amateur group. The Bolan song artists are not professional artists. Although there are exceptions except for the group leader, most of the artists do not have much academic knowledge, but their memory, singing and speaking skills deserve praise. Skilled lyricists or songwriters who use the melodies of Hindi or Bengali music to give shape to mythological stories or social problems remain hidden from the public eye in the so-called civilized society. With the change of era, due to the increase in the cost of costumes and decorations, Bolan songs are gradually disappearing due to lack of proper patronage. Part Two Gajan Festival Poro Bolan Song One of the favorite rhymes of childhood — ‘We two brothers sing Shiva’s Gajan. Grandma has gone to Gaya, Kashi, play the Duggudgi..’ ‘Gajan’ is a special part of the Shaivite culture of Radha-Bangla. There is a special craze surrounding this festival in various places of Radha, Nadia, Murshidabad, Birbhum, and Purba Burdwan districts. Bolan songs were popular approximately 350-375 years ago. This song is believed to have started after the Turkish invasion. I have given pictures of the song Dhar or Pala or Panchali Bolan in the previous post. Now various pictures of Poro Bolan or cremation game are given. The monks or devotees of Gajan try to please the deity by tormenting their bodies in various ways and performing austerities. In the Gajan of Shiva, two monks dress up as Shiva and Gauri and others dance in the costumes of Nandi, Bhringi, ghosts, demons, etc. Various folk rhymes of Shiva are recited and sung. Kali dance is a notable event in the Gajan of Chaitra Sankranti. A special part of the religious Gajan is the dance with a dead body or a dead body or a dance with a dead body (Kalika Patari dance) or the cremation dance. The members of this group paint their faces with various types of colors including red, black, white and golden aura. They wear special clothes mainly in red and black and are adorned with fake hair almost up to the waist. They carry at least one head of a dead body. The next day after the Bolan song, they...
