Contexto cultural
Singing is a form of national resistance. During the Language Movement and the Liberation War, songs like 'Amar Bhaier Rokte Rangano' became anthems of identity. The 'Para' (neighborhood) culture often involves musical competitions during festivals. Rabindra Sangeet is a staple in almost every household. Bauls are mystic minstrels from Bengal who sing about philosophy and spirituality using simple instruments like the Ektara. Karaoke culture is rising in cities like Dhaka and Kolkata, where 'গান গাওয়া' has moved from traditional harmoniums to digital screens.

To say 'I can sing', always use the infinitive: 'Ami gān gāite pāri'.
Avoid 'Khao'
Be careful not to say 'Gān khāoyā' (eating a song) unless you want to make people laugh!
