Folk Music Of Madhya Pradesh

The Reel is remarkable. Every young man must respond to the call of this dance. It si an ever lasting favorite with the Muria boys and girls. They may sing the Relo on any occasion. The girl take the initiative which is never ignored tea counter sex :

For six months or one full year
I'll keep my eyes on you
I want you to be a girl serene
Not stupid like buffalo.

The music of the Hill Maria and Bails is full of short scales. Crooning is not rare in the music of the Abujhmar tribe. The Murias of the North Bastar generally with full throated voice, sometimes use five to six notes. It is evident that the music and dance are interdependent among these tribes. Surprisingly enough, the Murias, the sing Marias, the Bhils and the Korkus do not share the common traits of their traditional music, with the exception that the Sing Marias, the Bhils and the Korkus layers overlapping with the Marias. 

They have melodies of short ambits with occasional move to the octave. This reminds Alain Dial, the French musicologist, of the " Musical Forms" found in Papua, Africa and Central Formosa.

In the surrounding villages of Jagdalpur, the Leo song has a significant place. The Lija song probably has its origin with the" Send off" ritual to some dear one. Literally the Leja means 
" Take it", which would have been the initial wish of the " send off" ritual. Many of the Leja songs are lengthy. The rhyming lines – Leja, Leja, Leja just serve as a relic and could e recited to unfold any song. The recitative line seldom has any affinity with the actual songs It merely helps to enhance the form of the song, These Leja songs, in their tests, may be about a bright-eyed girl, a hit summer night rainy season, harvest grievances, satires life, loose women, poverty or police atrocities. Any subject may be the theme of the Lega.
