“A Splendid Caper”: Dhaka Fair

Submitted by Mohammed Woasi Anwar

In this recording we hear the cacophony of sounds from the Banijjo Mela fair, the most happening fair on the calendar this year in the capital. You hear crowds of people chatting excitedly punctuated by the din of toy horns and various musical instruments (similar to flutes) being demonstrated by vendors. Dhaka International Trade Fair is underway nearby, so the whole district is packed with families enjoying a day out. The fair is a great place to enjoy live music, taste some heavenly food at the many stalls, and take part in a splendid shopping caper! If you’re looking for some cricket gear, this is the place to be today!
