Lok Dohori is a popular folk music genre from Nepal that blends traditional melodies with lively call-and-response lyrics, often centered on love, village life, and social themes. Rooted in rural traditions, it features energetic rhythms, harmonium, madal (a hand drum), and sometimes modern instruments. The genre has evolved, incorporating contemporary influences while maintaining its folkloric essence. Artists like Prem Raja Mahat and Raju Pariyar have helped shape Lok Dohori, making it widely loved in Nepal and among the diaspora. The music's engaging structure and meaningful storytelling continue to resonate across generations.
