Jibon Nouka জীৱন নৌকা | PERFORMANCE VIDEO | Rodin | Probin Kumar Saikia | Assamese Folk Song 2025

Folk Beats presents " Jibon Nouka " জিবন নৌকা a traditional Assamese Song 2025 টোকাৰী গীত sung by 13 year old Rodin from Assam. The music has been arranged and lyrics compiled by Folklorist Probin Kr Saikia. Tokari Geet is one of Assam’s ancient folk traditions, believed to have roots going back to the pre-Sanskrit era, when wisdom and traditions were passed down orally from generation to generation. The style takes its name from the tokari, a simple stringed instrument that accompanies the singing. These songs often narrate mythological tales, spiritual reflections, and philosophical thoughts on life, weaving together devotion and everyday human experiences. Tokari Geet is not only a form of music but also a living repository of Assam’s cultural memory and oral heritage. Indigenous art forms are the bed-rock of all contemporary performing arts, which includes dance, theatre, and music. Folk and traditional music have their own cultural history which is evolving with time, and also the roots of which are growing disengaged and ceasing to exist. It is also in tandem with climate change and the direct relation of art practices which are moving past community based approach, with no preservation efforts being considered. This টোকাৰী গীত music video, would follow two parallel narratives—an adolescent moving away from home to study in a Sattra, learning these art forms within a community, and the vanishing endangered Ganges-river dolphins due to aggressive human activity and preservation efforts that are being undertaken as a community-led effort.
