    S02_EP13: Weaving Maiden Story from Timor-Leste

    Weaving holds profound cultural, social, and spiritual significance in Timor-Leste, particularly through the creation of Tais, the traditional handwoven textiles. The craft is deeply rooted in Timorese identity, symbolizing the nation's history, community, and connection to the land. Tais plays an essential role in significant life events, such as births, marriages, and funerals. For example, a bride's family may gift Tais to the groom's family during wedding ceremonies as a gesture of goodwill and unity. On the other hand, Tais is also used as an offering to ancestors and spirits in rituals, symbolizing respect and gratitude. In some communities of Timor-Leste, specific Tais patterns are believed to hold protective powers or bring blessings. Tais is also a popular souvenir for visitors to Timor-Leste and a way to promote the nation’s cultural heritage globally. In 2021, Tais was included in UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. This episode of Ohh Folk pays tribute to the craft of weaving, particularly Tais, and its deep significance in Timor-Leste. Hope everyone will enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed putting it together!

    S02_EP11: Lunar Eclipse Story from Bangladesh

    Bangladesh!! A country once described as  "a sleeping beauty emerging from mists and water" by the Chinese traveler and poet Huen Tsang. Mother earth has been generous on this country with an abundance of natural resources, widespread greenery, beautiful coastlines and an extensive range of flora and fauna. Bangladesh is that unique country that fought a long war and gained victory for the sake of their mother language, Bengali. And because of this beautiful nation, February 21 is globally identified as the ‘International Mother Language Day’. And in this episode, also going live on February 21, in honor of the Mother Language Day (known as ‘Basha Dibosh’ in Bengali), I, a proud Bengali from one part of Bengal (West Bengal, India), pay homage to another part of Bengal (Bangladesh). While borders divide the two Bengals, language and culture have kept them united forever. Bangladesh also happens to be the country of my roots. This is where both my parents and most of my family originally comes from. So in this episode, I have picked a very old and rare folktale to pay tribute to my roots and the unique demographic diversity of Bangladesh.

    Sri Lanka, the Land of Serendipity is known for its abundance of natural beauty, timeless historical remains, and folk tradition that dates back thousands of years. Though Sri Lankan culture and social structure are primarily influenced by the predominant Buddhist philosophy, there is also significant influence of Hindu, Islamic, and Christian cultures, representing vast diversity. This heritage and tradition of diversity influence Sri Lanka’s oral folk tradition as well. While stories of Buddha and Ramaya impact the Sri Lankan folk culture significantly, many Sri Lankan folktales are often based on real human characters and animals. For example: the Andare tales. But what is that? To know more listen to this episode of Ohh Folk to discover Sri Lanka is new lenses!!
