==History==<br />
These songs have been sung from time immemorial by peoples of Kamrup region. Beside this forms of songs linking the day-to-day activities are also popular, like marriage songs (biyar geet), now khelar (boat race) geet, maha kheda (mosquito drive out) geet, child's play geet, fishing geet, lullabye geet and harvest festival geets. Considerably influenced by a class of Vaishnava songs of the highest sophistication and refinement, both literary and musical, the Kamrupi Lokgeets, although sung to the humble dolara and the dagar (or khanjari) demonstrate great intricacy.<ref>Dhaneswar Kalita (1991), ''Traditional performances of South Kamrup'', p.57, p.p82, Gian Pub. House</ref> It is known for richness of musical modes.<ref>{{Citation| surname=Sangeet Natak Akademi| title=Sangeet natak: Issues 31-34 | year=1974}}</ref><br />
