Ganga Download Songs

[Juvencio Parise]

GangaCyrillic: Ганга) is a type of singing that originated from rural Dinaric mountain region. It is most commonly found in the regions of Herzegovina and Dalmatia, but it can also be found to an extent in western Bosnia, Lika, Kordun and rural areas of north-west Montenegro. It is characterized by a lone singer singing a single line of lyrics, followed by others joining in, using a vocal style that is best described as a wail.

Ganga has historically been closely associated with the region of Herzegovina, where it has developed as a strong sense of cultural identity.[1][2] To ensure its survival, both Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia have taken measures to protect ganga as part of their cultural heritage and encourage its performance.[3]

Ganga is an expressive form of singing. Although both men and women regularly perform ganga, it is extremely unusual for them to perform together, although it was not unusual for Catholic and Muslim men to perform together. Ganga is culture is mainly situated in small towns and villages.

Ganga is a remnant of the archaic polyphonic singing style that can be found throughout the Dinaric region. Over time, local populations developed their own variety of the old-style singing, such as the throat-shaking style of singing ojkanje from Dalmatia, the izvika cry from western Serbia, or the iso-polyphony of Albania and North Macedonia. In the early 20th century, priest and musicologist Branko Marić theorized that the term "ganga" derived from the Albanian word knga which means "song", a possible remnant from the ancient Illyrians.[4] However, others have dismissed the theory and suggested it's derived from the sounds emitting from the performers' voice (gn-gn or gan-gan).[5]

Ganga performers historically sang about things pertaining to them, from the hardships of peasant work to the joys one finds in life. Because of its roots in the rural mountains, ganga has often been viewed by larger society as an oldfashioned or primitive tradition.[citation needed] More recent renditions of ganga have begun to address political issues, frequently adopting overtly nationalistic overtones and incorporating themes from wars and conflict.Several popular Croatian musicians have incorporated some Ganga into their work, such as folk singer Mate Bulić and pop stars Nina Badrić[6] and Severina, the latter with her Eurovision song entry.[7]

Tu Ganga ki mauj main Jamuna ka dhaara is a song, which I like as well. BB looks good with his curly hair. But find the chorus a bit distracting in such an intimate song. Just to think that we would have lost a great actress in process of filming this song.

I am an inveterate koopmandook. Much prefer to read or watch documentaries about these wondrous places to schlepping through tourist spots. All my travels have resulted from my wife putting her foot down and dragging me off. But loved your post about your vacation and Ganga. Your favorite Ganga songs are mine too, not too many as you rightly pointed out. Have you seen the Bengali movie Ganga by Rajen Tarafdar? A wonderful movie about fishermen fishing on the Ganges. It has superb music by Salil Choudhury. Sample this (a poor recording but the only recording on youtube): =sNRdwcVAlNI

Such a pity about Gangai nathiyoram being wasted on a bad film. But that seems to also have often been the case in Hindi cinema. I have rarely come across a good film from 1950s-60s Hindi cinema which had bad music, but there are numerous instances of fabulous songs but a less-than-good film.

The river Ganga is a really something. The first time I saw it was way back in my childhood on a visit to Benares and Calcutta, but I really saw its magnificence, when I saw it in Rishikesh. Wow! It was really something. As usual you and your readers have done a wonderful job so in that sense I have nothing more to add but I am going to post one song that I can relate to, that is just the first few words, you see although by birth and upbringing I am not a Ganga Kinara Wali but my ancestors were Ganga Kinare Walas and Walis so here goes
