Ghatu, Ghetu Gaan, or Ghetu Song is a type traditional cultural song of the Eastern Part of the Bangladesh. [1] The songs were traditionally sung during the monsoon season, [1] though the tradition is on the decline. [2] The festival was mainly held in north-eastern side of Mymensingh and lower part of Sylhet in Bangladesh. [3]
The first day of Bhadro (5th month of Bengali calendar) started on the eve of Bisharjan of Manasha ( Bengali: মনসার ভাসান) [1] and later celebrated on the day of Vijaya Dashami during the monsoon season. [3]
The festival revolves around a teenage boy. The boy dresses in shari and grows out his hair, with the intent of resembling a girl. [3] The very young boys were sexually abused and that contributed to the decline of this form of music. [4] During the festival he plays the role of pantomime by dancing or otherwise representing the Ghatu song. The Ghatu songs are mainly oriented around Radha Krishna. [3]
- The film Ghetuputra Komola by Humayun Ahmed was based on the life of a young Ghatu Singer. [5]
