The British colonialism majorly annihilated India, but few good things came out of it. Although the songs are highly religious in their themes, they can be enjoyed by atheists for their cultural beauty. They carry the regional alterations of dialect and that makes them a part of fusion. Haveli Sangeet is popular even in the states of Rajasthan and Gujrat. Reverentially, they’re majorly sung in the praise of or in devotion to Hindu deity Lord Krishna. These songs originated in the Mathura region of Uttar Pradesh. India has conjectured the tradition of Haveli Sangeet since primitive times. Haveli Sangeet are devotional songs performed in temples, often as a part of ritual. Etymologically, since Sugam translates to ‘comforting’, Sugam Sangeet is the genre which is born out of the convenience of a layman who is destitute of deeper details dwelling in classical music. The lexicon of the song is made easier by often containing words adopted from regional languages. That isn’t to say that it does not follow some of the technicalities, but it has been certainly made flexible to changes. Sugam Sangeet is the music that has been made free of text-laden technicalities of classical music. His songs have spiritualistic tranquility that bewitches one’s mind to experience calmness, and this is what Rabindra Sangeet encompasses too. Writings of Rabindranath Tagore were highly lyrical with the thematic undercurrent of love and devotion, mainly towards God. He drew inspiration from the Thumri sub genre of Hindustani classical music and added variations to the strict raga system in his songs. Rabindra Sangeet is the form of music named after its composer, the noble laureate, composer, poet, writer and Bengali polymath, Rabindranath Tagore. There are several prevalent forms of fusion of folk and classical music in India. Fusion songs borrow the element of ease from the folk songs and inherit the element of critical aestheticism from the classical songs.
In music, the genre of fusion gained immense popularity as well. To bridge this dichotomy here, the fusion of folk and classical emerged.
Folk culture, on the other hand is seen rather as an art form made for pleasure than as an art with aestheticism.
Classics which endure the originality of the art form are tough for a layman to acquire. We tend to modify and improve the given form according to the convenience of the layman.
