Authors
Dr. Shampa Choudhury
Abstract
Folk music has forever been an integral aspect
of rural India and has been imbued into its social, cultural and economic structures.
This research article is intended as an overview of the multidimensional role
that folk music takes in defining the lives of rural people. Songs and the
instruments used are just not for the sake of entertainment, but they
communicate values, express culture and they document a decent spiritual life
and are even a form of social reforms. Using field observation, literary
analysis, the study shows how folk music continues to correlate and exist with
modernity. The study raises a number of disturbing issues for folk traditions
and suggests how they can be preserved and even rejuvenated in Modern India.
