Paragraph on Differences between Bangladeshi and Western Music
Each
and every country has its own culture. They can't be superseded by the culture
of another country. So, it's quite natural that there are some basic
differences between Bangladeshi and Western music. The differences are very distinct. In theme and melody, our songs are poles apart from Western
music. Our songs especially the Nazrul Sangeet, and Rabindra Sangeet, traditional
songs are very graceful and refined. But the Western music is very much
vulgar. Musical instruments are used more in Western music. On the other
hand, ours are melodies, and musical instruments are used less. Western
singers use metallic sounds, whereas we don’t. The significant difference is
that individual love is the theme of Western music. That love is only the love
of the lovers. On the contrary, the theme of our song is also love but it's
quite different from Western music. Love as the theme of our song is for
lovers, for parents, for our motherland, and last of all for Allah. The Western
song has hardly any appeal. In contrast, our song has a great appeal and it
touches our hearts. In a word, a country can’t sacrifice its own identity and
culture for another country. The cultural differences were in the past, have
been in the present, and will be in the future.
