Summary: People
here form groups of 3 to 20 and work on fields. The group rarely changes and
comprises of people who love to work with each other. These farmers belong to
the Chakhesang tribe and sing the local folk form of Li. Their work music
mostly comprises of a multi-part harmony of wails and grunts. In the evening
when they sit down together for dinner and rice beer they sing group songs,
which are again harmonised but have lyrics. Cutting the paddy, winnowing,
thrashing, and carrying 70 kilo bags of it uphill have all got their own
sounds. At one point while climbing up the hill with this group of farmers we
looked around and saw many groups climbing up, each with their own music.
