This is a step towards fulfilling the need for research and creating awareness and interest in these priceless gems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEW\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery few scholars have written about Bihu of Assam with so much passion and emotion. Since the author Ms Utpola Borah comes from Assam and also being a musicologist and performer of not only classical Indian music but also traditional regional music of Assam, this work has the authenticity of information and is a cultural musicology work on the Bihu festival of Assam. The work would be greatly useful for ethnomusicologist and those who work on the regional music and dance of India. Ms Utpola Borah’s work is no doubt a praiseworthy contribution to the world of music.\u003cbr\u003e-Dr S A K Durga,\u003cbr\u003eDirector for Center for Ethnomusicology, Chennai Emeritus Professor, Madras University, Chennai\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFOREWARD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eASSAM-AN OVERVIEW\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeople \u003cbr\u003eReligion\u003cbr\u003eLanguage \u003cbr\u003eTraditional Attire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBIHU-A REFLECTION OF ASSAM’S ETHOS\u003cbr\u003eBohag Bihu or Rongali Bihu\u003cbr\u003eBohag Bihu celebration in Lower Assam\u003cbr\u003eSpring carnival among some tribes of Assam \u003cbr\u003eKati Bihu or Kangali Bihu\u003cbr\u003eMagh Bihu or Bhogali Bihu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHANGING MELIEO OF BOHAG BIHU\u003cbr\u003eBohag Bihu during Ahom period\u003cbr\u003eImpact of colonialism on Bihu songs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE PERFORMANCE\u003cbr\u003eHusori\u003cbr\u003eBihu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE MUSIC\u003cbr\u003eMelodies\u003cbr\u003eTunes\u003cbr\u003eNotations\u003cbr\u003eOi-Nitam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS\u003cbr\u003eRhythm\u003cbr\u003eDhol\u003cbr\u003eToka\u003cbr\u003eTal\u003cbr\u003ePepa\u003cbr\u003eXutuli\u003cbr\u003eGogona\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBIHU IN URBAN SETTINGS\u003cbr\u003eGlossary\u003cbr\u003eBiblography\u003cbr\u003ePersonal Interviews and recordings \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINDEX\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Utpola Borah \/ B R Publishing \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153689407856,"sku":"15650","price":42.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/15650.jpg?v=1793912618","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/bihu-festival-of-assam-music-dance-performance","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
