Bhawaiya’ in the view of rhythm on “Dotara”

Abstract: 

The traditional folk musical instruments are the mirror of any community in the society. At earlier days, man used the instruments cared about the instruments and hence protected them and was preserved as traditional instrument or folk musical instrument. It reflects in their rituals, spiritual and the traditional activities through music, song, dance, theater, food, costumes etc. Music is the most important medium through which the culture of any community is evaluated. Folk music is one form of the music which cannot be established in society for many reasons. Although modern life style with a globalization spirit is necessary, but the old traditional community culture is also necessary to keep alive for the upcoming generations. “Dotara” and “Bhawaiya” must play the most important role to keep the culture and traditions of North Bengal (Northern part of West Bengal) as well as North East India, alive without its own degradation and extinction. In the globalization we accept the entire thing for the development of our country. We interact with other countries and learn their culture and also meanwhile doing so we should also keep the culture of our region. Traditional musical instruments are compulsory to use in music, dance and drama and other art forms, which started since the dawn of first human civilization. But unfortunately, today it has been kept in the society in social constitution or the personal needs or as a heritage.
