Hip-hop music activism : a new phenomenon in Bangladeshi popular culture

Mubashar Hasan, Priyanka Kundu

Western Sydney University

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter

Abstract

Protest music and music itself is woven into social movements, war and demonstrations. In Bangladesh, historically conscious and politically charged songs have played a significant role in different movements directed at inspiring change. Most recently, rap has emerged as an instrument of expression in Bangladesh, influenced by American political hip-hop culture, but tinged with political criticism particular to Bangladesh. This chapter describes and analyses this new phenomenon in Bangladesh.
