Marma culture is known for its unique music, dance, and art forms. The Marma people have their own distinct language and cultural traditions. They live in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, which is a hilly region located in the southeastern part of Bangladesh. Their culture has been influenced by the neighboring countries of Myanmar and India, as well as by the indigenous traditions of the region. The video will showcase a combination of the folk songs enjoyed in the Marma culture.
Chagayang is one of the most popular folk music. It is usually composed on various topics during contemporary life.
Lungdi is a group folk song of Marma community. It has written about the life and action of Gautama Buddha and various stories of war. It is sung once a year during Sangraing festival.
