Song # 4 : Angbhumi sundarata bhumi

Folk music is an essential part of daily life all over rural Bihar.The songs of shepherds grazing their herd, riders hauling produce or goods on their bullock-carts, or men-folk gathered under the shade of a banyan or peepal tree during summer or around a fire in winter, fill the air with their sweet and haunting sounds.

Meanwhile, women also, milling wheat or maize on a hand-mill entertain themselves by singing while doing the chore.

Many songs are associated with the seasons, festival or rituals. During the monsoon season as the much need gentle rains come down, young women on their swings sing songs called, "kajari", "jhoomar", and "barahmasa" (roughly translated, the Four Seasons!) "Chaiti" and "baisakhi" are songs of the hot summer season.

Also, during the spring season, the festival of Holi (the rites of spring) is associated with its own raucous songs, the "phag" or "phagua" with the accompaniment of a huge drum, "the dhaal".

A wedding is included with folk songs, each distinct for the many parts of the ceremony, and climaxed by the heart-rending songs accompanying the bride's departure from her old home where she had spent her entire life till that time, leaving all her kith and kin behind for her new and unknown home, the home of the bride-groom. These are the songs of "bidai". It is indeed a rare soul who is not moved at the lyrics and sounds of these songs
