Culture and Music of the Brahmaputra Basin
The Yarlung Tsangpo-Brahmaputra-Jamuna river basin is a perfect example of cultural assimilation. It is a transboundary water body that flows across four countries. The river banks of the basin are home to diverse indigenous groups and other communities, each with their own rich cultural heritage. The culture developed on the banks of the Brahmaputra is itself a rendezvous of hundreds of tribes and communities, that can be traced back to centuries of peaceful co-existence. Therefore, what appears as heterogeneity and multiculturalism, has a strong sense of oneness identified by the deep relationship with the river. This session “Culture and Music of the Brahmaputra Basin” is an ode to this oneness that binds us to the river and to one another.
