Folk song is a type of song sung in the traditional style of a country or community. Folk song includes the lifestyle of the rural people, with all their hopes, expectations, sorrows and dreams. The major folk songs of our country are Baul. Bhatiyalt, Murshidi, Marfati. Jarigan, Jatragan, Sharigan, Kabigan, Gambhira etc. Folk songs are sung by professional or amateur singers. They may be sung individually or in chorus. The traditional musical instruments of our country are Tabla, Dhol. Madal, Ektara, Bansi. Sitar, Kartal, Mandira. Dotara, Sarad, Sarinda etc. At present the young generations show less interest in folk song. In general, band and pop music are becoming more and more popular among the young generation.
