Music video by
Rainbow Trip performing
Goru Bihu
Song.
Rainbow Trip’s debut
Assamese EDM song is based on the theme of ‘Goru Bihu’, a festival of
Assam celebrated on the first day of
Rongali Bihu.
The music video to ‘Goru Bihu Song’ captures the essence of Assamese folk dance - bihu with young boys and girls dressed in traditional attire and painted with cow face paint. The video begins by showing a cow and his master on their way to the river for goru bihu.
What is Goru Bihu?
Bihu is the major cultural festival of Assam, a state in the northeastern part of
India. There are three kinds of Bihu celebrated in a year - Rongali bihu or Bohag bihu, Bhogali bihu or
Magh bihu, and Kongali bihu or
Kati bihu. Rongali bihu marks the onset of Assamese new year (April 14 of every year) and also the advent of seeding time.
Rongali Bihu is celebrated over the entire Assamese calendar month ‘Bohag’. The first day is celebrated as ‘Goru Bihu’, where ‘goru’ refers to a cow. On this day, cattle and livestock are taken to the nearby rivers and washed with Mah-Haldi (a paste of turmeric and different types of pulses). New tethering rope is tied to the cattle and they are allowed to roam free in the fields.
Cows are gently struck by sprigs of plants called Dighalati and Makhiyati. They are offered gourds and brinjals and are blessed by reciting – “lao kha bengana kha, bosore bosore barhi ja, maar xoru, baaper xoru, toi hobi bor bor goru” (blessing the livestock to grow year by year, better than their parents).
Goru Bihu Song - The first Assamese EDM song
Rainbow Trip’s new edm song is the first of its kind in
Assamese music. Goru Bihu Song is the first electronic and electro music to be released in Assam. The song’s lyrics are based on the seasonal change and the coming of spring. After the cold winter, here comes the colorful spring that brings with it a cool breeze and welcomes the month of bihu festivities. The celebrations begin with ‘goru bihu’.

What is electronic music? What is EDM?
Electronic music employs electronic music technology and electronic instruments for music production. EDM stands for electronic dance music, also known as club music or dance music. It refers to a range
of percussive electronic music genres like electro, house music, techno and trance music.
Initially, electronic dance music was associated to
European rave and club culture. By the mid-to-late
1990s, there were efforts underway to market a new range of electronic dance music genres in the name of ‘electronica’
. In the year
1998,
Madonna’s ‘Ray of
Hope’ brought electronic music to the attention of popular music listeners. A stream of electronic music bands emerged in the mid
2000s including
Tiesto,
Daft Punk,
David Guetta, etc.
YouTube and SoundCloud helped fuel the rise in popularity of EDM music. The increased interest in EDM music was also influenced by live edm concerts.
EDM festivals like
Electric Daisy Carnival (
EDC) and
Ultra Music Festival (
UMF) gained prominence and grew in size. Other electronica acts that gained popularity are
Avicii and
Swedish House Mafia.
In
2011 Spin declared a "new rave generation" with leading acts like David Guetta,
Skrillex and
Deadmau5. In
2013,
Billboard introduced a new EDM-focused
Dance Songs chart.
Electronic dance music is described as the fastest growing musical genre in the world.

Lyrics:
মাঘৰ মেজিৰ পাছত ফাগুন
বুলালে
চ'তৰ দলিচাত শীতৰ আমেজ গুচিলে
ঘূৰি ঘূৰি আকৌ ব'হাগ আহিলে
গৰখীয়াই গৰু ধোৱাব আনিলে
লাউ খা বেঙেনা খা
বছৰে বছৰে বাঢ়ি যা
মাৰ সৰু বাপেৰ সৰু
তই হবি বৰ গৰু
The west wind blowing
Across the east fields
Change is calling
To break new ground
কাহিলি পুৱাই তই মূৰ তুলি চালি
মোৰ গোহালিৰ ধন তয়ে মোৰ
বেলি
পচোৱাই ধুই নিয়া তয়ে মোৰ মন
জীৱন ৰঙীন কৰ বহাগী মোৰ মন
