Bihu meets EDM in this viral video from Assam

It’s not just the music of Guwahati-based artiste Axl Hazarika that is futuristic (he does “EDM folk”). Based on his viral music video, Goru Bihu Song, it’s evident that he’s a man who likes to think ahead. “Imagine a future where we forget the concept of Goru Bihu,” he says. The first day of the Assamese harvest festival Rongali Bihu, is called Goru Bihu and is usually dedicated to the care and reverence of livestock. Hazarika’s music video, which has garnered over a million views on Youtube, is a curious ode to the day, complete with Bihu dancers masked in cow face paint (apparently, a thing in Ireland) and EDM.
