In the world, there are many street performers. These performers can frequently be seen on Bangladeshi streets and Indian streets as well.
Busking, often known as street performance, is the practise of performing in public settings for tips. In many nations, incentives are frequently offered in monetary form, but they can also take the shape of gifts, food, or drink. Street performance has a long history and is practised all around the world. People who engage in this activity are known as buskers or street entertainers.
Anything that people find entertaining is a performance. Acrobatics, animal tricks, balloon twisting, caricatures, clowning, comedy, contortions, escapology, dance, singing, fire skills, flea circus, fortune-telling, juggling, magic, mime, living statue, musical performance, puppeteering, snake-charming, storytelling or reciting poetry or prose, street performance, street art . street art forms including ventriloquism, sword swallowing, street theatre, and drawing and painting and so forth are all examples of possible performance types.
Who are snake charmers ?
Snake charmers are itinerant musicians who perform on the streets and use their flutes (pungis) and a few dancing cobras to enchant and entertain onlookers.
They are well-known and appreciated for a number of endeavours outside of music:
taking care of persons who have been bitten by a venomous snake and collecting snakes at people’s homes
Does music that attracts snakes play any part in this procedure ?
The cobras are lured out of their hiding places using the sound of the pungi.
Snake charmers play particular songs to rouse the cobras, and “nagin” is one among them.
They believe that when they hear these songs, cobras are in a “happy mood” and are more likely to leave their hiding spots.
In the documentaries I’ve watched, every snake tamer interviewed makes clear they don’t want to hurt the snakes and set them free after few months .
