Бенгальский новый год
Хе-хе, что я нашла! Мои одно-.... мммм, как это по-русски то лучше... В общем, я знаю, кто этому порадуется! И еще некая ведьма, возможно, вспомнит про новогодне-уборочный бенгальский танец.
Baisakhi Mela и немного бенгальской музыки
Celebrations of Pahela Baisakh (First of Bangla Year) started from Emperor Akbar's reign. It was customary to clear up all the year's dues on the last day of Chaitra (the twelfth month of the Bengali calendar). On the following day, or the first day of the New Year, landlords would entertain their tenants with sweets. On this occasion fairs used to be organized there. In due course the occasion became part of domestic and social life, and turned into a day of merriment.
New year's festivities are closely linked with rural life in Bengal. Usually on the day everything is thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned. People bathe early in the morning and dress in fine clothes and go to visit relatives, friends and neighbours. Special foods are prepared to entertain guests. Baisakhi Melas are arranged in many parts of the country. Various agricultural products, traditional handicrafts, toys, cosmetics as well as various kinds of food and sweets are sold at these fairs. The fairs also provide entertainment, with singers and dancers staging Jatra, Pala gan, Kavigan, Jarigan, Gambhira Gan, Gazir Gan and Alkap Gan. Artistes present folk songs as well as Baul, marfati, Murshidi and Bhatiali songs.
The most colourful New Year's Day festival takes place in Dhaka. Large numbers of people gather early in the morning under the Banyan Tree at Ramna Park where Chhayanat artistes open the day with Tagore's famous song, Eso he Baisakh eso eso..... (Come O Baisakh, come come……..).

Таки, Тагор!
А мягкие, нежные, легко узнаваемые бенгальские песни (в даннос случае - Робиндро Шонгит) можно полушать, например:
