Among the most powerful forms of Rohingya music is tarana—songs that document oppression and struggle, carrying deep emotional weight. In Myanmar, performing tarana was dangerous; musicians risked punishment if authorities heard them.
Today, in exile, these songs can be sung freely, recounting the horrors of the Rohingya Genocide, the loss of citizenship, and the longing for a homeland left behind.
Despite their sorrowful themes, some tarana also express hope—the dream of returning to Arakan and reclaiming a life stolen from them.
