Folk Literature (Bengali: বাংলা লোক/পল্লী সাহিত্য) constitutes a considerable portion of Bengali literature. Because folk literature is oral, it tends to rely on some mnemonic devices and patterns of language and style and includes different types of epic, poetry and drama, folktales, ballads, proverbs etc. 

The musical tradition of Bangladesh is lyrics-based, with minimal instrumental accompaniment. We can classify folk songs in seven categories: love, ritual, philosophy and devotion, work and labour, profession and occupation, satire and fun, and mixed. On the other side there are different forms of Folk music, Baul, Gombhira, Bhatiali, Bhawaiya, kavigan, ghatu gan, jhumur, baramasi, meyeli git, jatra gan, sari gan, etc.
