Comparative study of cultural folk songs of Bhojpuri and Assamese

Abstract

This comparative study explores the rich cultural tapestries of Bhojpuri and Assamese folk songs, delving into the intricate nuances that define the musical traditions of these two distinct regions. Through an in-depth analysis of the lyrical content, musical compositions, and cultural contexts, the research aims to highlight both the unique characteristics and potential commonalities that contribute to the diversity of India's musical heritage. By examining the historical, social, and geographical factors influencing these folk traditions, the study seeks to offer insights into the preservation and promotion of cultural identity through the medium of folk songs. This comparative analysis not only sheds light on the diversity of musical expression in Bhojpuri and Assamese cultures but also contributes to a broader understanding of the role of folk songs in shaping and reflecting regional identities.
