Lets Raise our Folk Songs worldwide

The Music Nepal, a pioneering Musical Company in Nepal is hosting "The International Folk Music Festival 2008" in the capital from November 5, 2008. Five different countries are participating at the programme including Norway, India, Malawi, Palestine and South Africa who will star alongside Nepali artistes representing five development regions of the country.

It’s a great platform to understand each other and share among with their opinion. But why not this practice is here in Bangladesh? We have so many folk singers as well as folk musician. We have great Baul philosopher Firoj Shah, Lalon, Hason Raja, Baul Shah Abdul Karim and other great Baul singers. But we can’t thing about them and we can’t thing this way like what Nepal doing.

If we can arrange such a festival then it can help to raise our rich folk songs and singers worlwide.
