| Description |
Music is a cultural issue. Through cultural transmission, one creates a concept of sound and music that is inherited. In other words, one’s concept of music is created and nurtured by his or her upbringing within a culture. The variegated patterns of music West Bengal generally is found in different societies and cultures. Folk and Urban bands are much more realistic with regard to their lyrics, in comparison to others. The impact of modernization and westernization is also evident in the both contexts. Sociocultural issues become ubiquitous in the texts of the folk and urban music usually come from the society itself, the people, human life cycle, souls, life after death, addiction, disease, love affair, politics, etc. and the musicians write the lyrics on these subjects and allied contemporary issues to give the social massage to the mass. The band sub-culture depicts division of labor, gender and political issues, economic profile, business structure. Ethnomusicology is the only area of studying of the cross-cultural aspect of music in society.
