#Deora
#Deora is a song sung by boatsmen for rhythm and
energy during Nouka Baich – a traditional boat race,
popular in the northern parts of Bangladesh and held
during the Monsoon and Autumn seasons. The banks
of Bangladesh explode with festivities in this time and
Deora celebrates those ‘Mela’ across ‘The Land of the
Rivers
The mix of folk genres like ‘Shaari Gaan’, usually
associated with physical labor, and ‘Jaag Gaan’ known
for its motivational lyrics – the perfect combination for
a sport that requires the participants to have quick
bursts of intense energy for rowing their boat across
the finishing line. Reflecting the vitality of the lyrics
written by a boat racer Fazlu Majhi himself.
Pritom pays his ode to these colorful genres in his
opening lines for the song. He is joined by the
Ghaashphoring Choir, collaborating to create a fresh
new sound for the young listeners of the music crazy
nation.
The cherry on top is the immaculate performance by
Islam Uddin Palakar. A pioneer in the genre of ‘Pala
Gaan’ a folk performance that is inherited. The rich
heritage of this genre usually requires elaborative
theatrical performances where the actor takes in
multiple roles – sometimes a man, sometimes a
woman, and sometimes an inanimate object – to
present stories to their audience. These performances
can take up to 8 hours without a break. Deora tries to
cement the different genres that make up the
#RealMagic sound of Bangladesh with a new sound.
