"Bhatiyali", the song of the river, sung by the river through her boatsmen. Bhatiyali has a river in its name itself. Some say that the name’s origin is in the word ‘bhati’, meaning "downstream" but others opine that the word is ‘Bhata’, meaning ‘ebbing tide’. Bhatiyali is also called ‘Bhati Desher Gaan’ (Song of 'Bhati' land) and is related to the Mystic River. The music is inspired by the confluence of nature and expresses one’s pure love for his/her beloved through simple language. Like most folk music, it defies rigid classification into raags. The river has sculpted the very structure of the Bhatiyali. The sound of the water brings in a melodic aberration in the structure of Bhatiyali.
Historically, Bhatiyali gained popularity in the stretches of Mymensingh and Sylhet of undivided Bengal and the Sunderbans. Later, it spread across Bengal and even reached the banks of the Brahmaputra in Assam. Bhatiyali often tends to merge with dehatattwa – a genre of music that dwells on the philosophy of the body. In these, the river is typically used as a metaphor for life itself. It has a very strong character.
Since Bhatiyali is conceived on a living river with all her moods, all her love, her passion, her fury, her compassion, from the low tide which leaves the boatman stranded on the sandy banks to the floods that sweep away the boat. It is forthright, straightforward and real, it is not always full of only devotion and glorification for the river, unlike classical shlokas or hymns, it also talk of the struggle and endeavour of the journey, the treacherous river with the perilous storms and floods. While some talk of how limitless river is, they also talk about the unity in this limitlessness. Like rivers, Bhatiyali defies boundaries. It is sung and celebrated in Bangladesh to West Bengal to Tripura to Pakistan. Each region adds its own colour, its own tunes and idiosyncrasies to the genre, enriching it further. The metaphor of river and search for direction, kinara (Kul) is eternal in Bhatiyali. In one sense, Bhatiyali is a “work song” a melodious accompaniment to monotonous or tiring work.
The Noble prize laureate, Kabiguru Rabindranath Thakur (Tagore) was also deeply influenced by Bhatiyali, as is reflected in many of his songs.
This baithak was held at the initiative of Ved Gupta as a part of Bazm e Khas foundation live concerts.
The idea behind this upload is to preserve this collection of great music for all music lovers and students of Hindustani music. We treat this upload as a cover version.
