About Adi Singers

Adi Singers come from the Adi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, mainly settled around the Siang valley. They carry forward a folk tradition that is centuries old. These Adi Lokgeet Singers perform at festivals, rituals, and community gatherings. Their songs are not just for entertainment. Each song holds a story about ancestors, nature, or daily village life. Many performances begin with a chant or offering, asking blessings from local deities before the singing starts.

Adi musicians dress in traditional attire while performing. Women wear a handwoven dress called gale, paired with colourful beads and silver jewellery. Men also wear gale, along with cane headgear during ceremonies. The songs themselves follow a simple pattern. You will notice repetition and call-and-response verses. This style makes the songs easy to follow and easy to remember, even for someone hearing them for the first time.

Some well-known song forms in this tradition include Baryi, a narrative song about Adi history and legends, and Ponung, sung by women during harvest festivals. There is also Ja-Jin-Ja, sung at weddings and social gatherings. Each Adi singer learns these songs by listening, not by reading. That is how the tradition has survived for so many generations, passed down by voice alone.

Beyond performance, Adi Singers play an important role in teaching. Younger members of the community learn about their customs, history, and beliefs through these songs. This is why the art form matters even today. It keeps tradition alive while also reaching new audiences, both within Arunachal Pradesh and beyond.
