The beats of Dhang-Kur-Kur. Listen to the Dhak( the drums), folk instrumental music of Bengal which goes deep down into the ritualistic tradition of Durga Puja. This decaying clan of dhakis ( the drummers are often called) are on the decline due to economic reason. But a puja is incomplete without Ma Durga listening to the jugol-bandhi beats of dhak and kasor. These dhakis here, came from far flung Bengal, from the district of Medinipore, travelling 3 days on the road to reach the venue. Dhak for Dhaki is an occupation carried through generations but those who carry the tradition carry the passion for the folk music which is clearly evident in this video - coming from the lens of promising emerging photographer SM.
