Abstract
The current study explores the important role of community singing in the lives of rural women residing in the North Indian state of Haryana. Women sing a variety of folk songs, such as spiritual and religious songs, songs for special occasions, and songs that reflect contemporary concerns like health, gender, politics, or even COVID-19. In this chapter, the authors categorize a selection of songs under broad headings: gender discrimination, anecdotes, spiritual/religious messages, and contemporary health concerns. Translation from the local dialect is followed by a brief textual and musical analysis in order to clarify the function of community singing and to document the ways that social, spiritual, political, educational, economic, and cultural themes are reflected through these folk songs.
