Bangladesh Tribal Group Dance

This is a video I took of a tribal dance that we were able to witness in Bangladesh. We were invited to a cultural program when we were in Birishiri, in the northern part of Bangladesh, by the Director of the Birishiri Tribal Cultural Academy and some women from the Garo tribe performed.



The Garo people look like us Igorots in their facial features, which is different from the Indian race, and I was mercilessly teased as one by our Bangladeshi friends. But, surprisingly, no loincloths, gongs and sagni for them hehehehe... Their dance is very different, although I must say their woven attire looks familiar =)
