Key word: Folk Song, Limbu

The word Limbu roughly translates as an archer or ‘the bearer of bows and arrows.’ They belong to the ruler’s scheme. Political antagonism has resulted in their land being divided into two; thereby making the Limbu a community that straddles the two nations of Nepal and India. Therefore, the folk music of the Limbus is central to understanding their cultural elements, including their worldview, relationships, traditions, roles and practices. Now a days, the Limbu is utilizing and recreating their traditional culture with music as a medium of entertainment, which helps preserve ancient traditions in the modern age. Today, Limbu folk songs are influenced by modern music which have taken away the ancient vibe of the songs. Limbus new generation were quite unaware about their indigenous songs. Most of the Limbu people were unable to speak Limbu language in which all their rituals are done and songs are sung. Many existing knowledge about the Limbu community focused on the historical and social aspects of the Limbu community, there is hardly any literature that has mentioned the music of the Limbu community. Literature specifically based on Limbu folk songs are rarely maintained and which is very essential as far as the study of Limbu Music is concerned. Should examine the melodic structure of Limbu Folk songs in the context of Hindustani Thata with the meaning of Limbu Folk Songs.
