Bengali music is the music of west Bengal is considered as one of the most melodious Indian states. Many sites online have archives and lyrics databases of the fresh latest new Bengali songs mp3 and old rare traditional Bengali song mp3 for free download. Videos, video clips, folk music especially Baul, Hindustani classical music, Rabindranath Tagore’s, Bengali pop songs, remix Bengali songs are also downloadable for free or after paying a small fee.

Bengali music is greatly influenced by Hindustani classical music. It comprises a long tradition of religious and secular song-writing over a period of almost a millennium. Bengal today is split into West Bengal and Bangladesh post partition thus the music of the two countries is very similar.

The biggest stalwart of Bengali music has to be Rabindranath Tagore. He has to his credit a vast collection of songs and poems which not only helped make Bengali music and literature available to the common man of Bengal but also to the rest of India.

The earlier Hindi movies had borrowed a lot of traits from the Bengali music industry. During the mid eighties Bengali music started to die down but off late it has been catching up again.

Some of my favorite bengali songs by Rabindranath Tagore are:

• Aami chini go chini tomare
• Sakhi bhabona kaharey baley
• Aakash bhara
• Tora je ja bolish
