Over the ages, #Bangladesh has seen arrival of mystic minstrels, called '_Bauls_'. Generations have adored their timeless lyrics. Their voices keep nourishing people's mindscape in the largest delta with #music | rhythm. Melodies soothe souls beyond borders. Their songs find new meaning over time. Quietly yet firmly Bauls draw #people of all distinctions, celebrating syncretism. Unleashing empathy, harmony, togetherness. In one indivisible frame. Invisibly. ___________________ বাংলাদেশ তো শুধু নদীমাতৃক নয়, বাউলদের কণ্ঠে সুরে মেতে থাকা এই উর্বর ভূমি সুরমাতৃক। গানমাতৃক। এখানে তাই পথে পথে সুর ভেসে চলে, আপন আনন্দে গান এখানে খুঁজে নেয় আপন ঠিকানা। গানের, সুরের এই প্রাণের দেশে আমরা মেতে উঠি একসাথে, সম্প্রীতির এক তালে। __________________ सदियों से, #बांग्लादेश में 'बाउल' कहे जाने वाले रहस्यमयी गायकों का आगमन होता रहा है। पीढ़ियों से लोगों ने उनके सदाबहार गीतों को पसंद किया है। उनकी आवाज़ें संगीत और लय के ज़रिए दुनिया के सबसे बड़े डेल्टा में रहने वाले लोगों के मन को समृद्ध करती रही हैं। उनकी धुनें सरहदों के पार भी रूह को सुकून देती हैं। समय के साथ उनके गीतों के नए अर्थ सामने आते हैं। बाउल चुपचाप लेकिन मज़बूती से अलग-अलग पृष्ठभूमि के लोगों को एक साथ लाते हैं और मिली-जुली संस्कृति का जश्न मनाते हैं। वे बिना दिखे ही सहानुभूति, सद्भाव और एकता का भाव जगाते हैं। एक अटूट बंधन में। #India #culture ____________ This is the ninth/last in a series of animation conceptualised/produced by @bdhc_delhi over past one yr to underline pluralism and syncretism in Bangladesh, thanks to a group of young animators.
