Baans Geet (Bamboo song)

The singers of the bamboo song are mainly people of the Rawat or Ahir caste. The number of Routes in Chhattisgarh is many. The Raut caste is considered Yaduvanshi. That is, their ancestor is considered to be Krishna. It seems that when he used to take the cow in the jungles for tasting, at the same time he slowly started using bamboo as an instrument. The beginning was probably like this - the cow used to eat grass and Raut the young man or perhaps the boy would pick up a piece of bamboo and try to make a tune out of it, and then suddenly one day that creative boy started playing that bamboo big. With fun Bamboo song is a very important genre in Chhattisgarhi folk songs. This bamboo piece is about four feet long. This bamboo fascinates people with its special tune. The bamboo song has a singer. There are two bamboo players with them. The singer is accompanied by two other men called "Ragi" and "Dehi". The first player plays the bamboo, and where he stops he exhales, the second player moves that voice. And only after that we hear the voice of the singer. The singer introduces folk tales through song. Only the singer knows the vocabulary of that folk tale. "Ragi" is someone who does not know the terminology, but perhaps entirely, who accompanies the vocalist. "Dehi" is a person who encourages singers and ragi. Like "blessed be" "good" "wow wow". The one who knows the melody of that song is "Ragi". Malin caste bamboo is considered to be the best in Chhattisgarh. The tone is not disturbed in this bamboo. Bamboo is poured from the middle to make four holes in it, just as the flute player's fingers dance on the holes, in the same way the fingers of the bamboo player also dance on the holes and that particular tune starts coming out. Rawat people are very hardworking. Before 4 o'clock in the morning, the animals get up for grazing. Never return home before evening. And even after returning home, goat, sheep and cow have to be cared for. Seeing her husband constantly busy, Ravatine sometimes gets annoyed and is upset with her husband.
