Description: In this article discusses about the folk songs of Assam. As for the tribal melodies, it is true that they are of a comparatively limited range, being mostly pentatonic, but they have a directness of appeal hardly found in more sophisticated music. Tribal people use a variety of indigenous instruments, among which the flute (Bodo siphung), the Jew's harp (Rabha gamena), the drum, large or small, and the bamboo clapper (Bodo tharka) seem to be common. The Bodo siphung, with five holes, plays haunting music.
