They're called "li". The traditional working songs of the rice farmers of Nagaland in India's Northeast. A kind of mesmerizing polyphonic conversation among the many men and women who might be out in the paddies at a given time, the songs are entrancing. They have a kind of otherworldly air to them, a kind of sound that puts them out of touch with western songs and even apart from more traditional Indian carnatic music.
