Website Notification: Sehri Songs are now on the website

As promised the DNF website team presents to you the rare video footage of the “Sehri Songs”. The songs captured in this video span across three generations, since their conception in the 1940’s. The following images were captured in celluloid by K.M. Rashed of Sweden during his summer vacation to Dhaka in 1995. The DNF team has added captions and blended relevant visual frames.
Instructions:
Please go to Digital Library section on the home page.
Double click on traditional sehri songs link.
Play the songs.
Once the clip starts double click on the screen, you will be able to watch full screen video.
Sit back ,close your eyes and take yourself back in the days of our ancestoral pre-Sehri ritual. Don’t forget to post your remark here after watching the video.
