A basic characteristic of the ethnic music of Assam

  1. descending scale which distinguishes it from the raga-based or folk music from the rest of India.
  2. This style is shared by ethnic music of the hill people surrounding the state of Assam, and by the music of Thailand, Myanmar and China.
  3. Furthermore, the tunes are structured in a pyramid, in contrast to the music of rest of India which is meend based.
Assam is a state with valleys and hills, and the home of many ethnic tribes. Just as the geography and varied people co-exist, the pulsating Bihu songs co-exist with languorous music of other forms.

    Quite nostalgic. If more and more songs are added to thecollection on request, will be better. Old songs of Dwipen Baruah, Dolly Ghosh, Anima Chowdhury, Sandhya Menon etc will definitely add colour to the collection. Keep the good thing going. If the ‘Download’ facility is added, the site will really serve a good purpose.
