Migration of Metaphors

Sumon Rahman
4.00/5 (4 ratings)
In heart of Dhaka, the urban soundscape has been reshaped by a remarkable musical evolution. The urban poor, who form a significant part of its population, have redefined the rules of music consumption since the 1980s. Migration of Metaphor discusses the rise of "urban folk," a genre formed through the interaction of traditional melodies with contemporary tales of the urban marginalized community. This book delves into the heart of Dhaka's vibrant subcultures, where a new generation of artists, often from humble backgrounds have become the voice of the marginalized. Migration of Metaphors reveals “urban folk” as a hybrid musical form that intertwines with the larger revival of Bengali folk music. This insightful book takes you on a journey into the heart of Dhaka's streets, where the sound of urban folk is not just music but a rallying cry for the urban poor's quest for recognition and identity.
