लोकगीत

Wihu songTangsa

Origin, agriculture and blessing, sung in a poetic register that differs from ordinary Tangsa speech and varies between Tangsa groups. It is the most thoroughly documented song tradition in the belt.

कब गाया जाता है: The Wihu observance and other Tangsa gatherings. The documentation was carried out with community singers over roughly two decades and the recordings are used within the community as well as outside it.

Loku songsNocte

Harvest, ancestry and the standing of the chief's household, sung responsorially with the dancing.

कब गाया जाता है: Chalo Loku, October–November.

Oriah songsWancho

Spring, sowing and communal welfare, sung across the several days of the festival with the log drum keeping time.

कब गाया जाता है: Oriah, February–April.

Manau chantsSingpho

Origin and migration narrative recited by elders while the files of dancers move around the posts — the same text tradition held by Kachin communities across the ridge.

कब गाया जाता है: Shapawng Yawng Manau Poi, February.

Work and courting songsNocte, Wancho and Tangsa

Field work, absence and attachment. The everyday layer under the festival repertoire, and the one most at risk, because it has no calendar occasion to keep it in use.

कब गाया जाता है: Jhum labour, evenings, courtship.
