Folk songs are the part of Bangladeshi culture. They express rural people's hopes, aspirations, sorrows, dreams, and happiness. Some of the important folk songs are Jari gaan, Sari gaan, Hason Rajar gaan, Vatiali, Gamvira, Nailar gaan.
Jari gaan is a mourning song that is sung during a tragic event in chorus. Sari gaan is related to the life of boatmen. They sing sari gaan while they sail the boats. These songs also tell their sorrows, happiness, dreams and hopes.
Gamvira is a song of Rajshahi region which is actually sung in chorus. This type of song normally satirizes the negative aspects of society. Nailar song is a kind of prayer song sung for the blessing of God. These folk songs add diversity to our culture.
