Khasis
Fair & Festivals
Music is integral to Khasi life, and whatever it lacks in formal sophistication
of established schools and forms of music, it makes up in purity, beauty and
a certain complexity in skilful rendering. Music everything in Khasi Life -
every festival and ceremony from birth to death is enriched with music and dance.
One can hear natural sounds enmeshed in the songs - the hum of bees, bird calls,
the call of a wild animal, the gurgling of a stream.
