The three-day Folk Music Festival ’08 came to an end in Bangladesh with the presentation of Manipuri classical dance titled Rash being performed by the Bishnupriya Manipuri community inhabitants of the country.
The artists presented the Rash in three fragments of art forms. However, the classical dance is performed nightlong.
The festival took place in the premises of the Bangladesh Asiatic Society [BAS] on February 29. BAS arranged the festival to its project called 'Bangladesh Cultural Survey'.
Besides dance and music, research papers on folksongs were presented.
Ten troupes performed in the evening session of the programme. The event began with staging of the Manipuri Moithy community's folklore. They staged two Jagous (a traditional performance in dance-music form featuring the myth of Khoma-Khoibi duo). Moreover, they presented a part of Khubak Oishey ( a kind of ballad). The presentation of the indigenous performing art forms of Manipuri Moithy was enjoyable. Reported by The Daily Star.
Other communities of the country like Chakma, Tripura and Marma, also participated in the festival.

I failed to understand: what is a Manipuri Moithy? Bishnupriya Manipuri people in Bangladesh can answer it better.
