Bihu songs
Bihu songs are traditional folk melodies from Assam, India, associated with the Bihu festival that marks the Assamese New Year and seasonal changes. These songs celebrate themes like love, nature, harvest, and rural life, often performed with lively dance and vibrant musical instruments like dhol, pepa, and gogona. They reflect the region's cultural identity, rural traditions, and historical storytelling, serving as a means of social cohesion and cultural preservation. Bihu music varies by season—Bohag Bihu, in particular, features energetic tunes that evoke joy, vitality, and community spirit.
