{{Indian music|expanded=Territory}}
{{Culture of Assam}}
The '''music of [[Assam]]''' consists various [[Music genre|genres]] of [[Folk music|folk]] and modern music, drawing its artistic basis from the [[history of Assam]], from [[Culture of Assam|Assamese culture]] and its ancient traditions. In recent times, starting from the late eighties, popular artistes have modernized the music catering to local popular demand.

A basic characteristic of the indigenous ethnic music of Assam is its descending scale similar to East Asian music which distinguishes it from the ''[[Mode (music)|Mode-based]]'' or folk music ''([[Raaga|Raaga-based]])'' forms from the rest of India.

The tunes are structured in a pyramid and are in always in [[pentatonic scale]] similar to other traditional music of Asia like China, Mongolia etc and dissimilar from the seven-scaled Indian music, (in contrast to the music of rest of India which is ''[[Meend]]'' based),<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.itcsra.org/meend|title=ITC Sangeet Research Academy|website=www.itcsra.org|access-date=2019-10-15}}</ref> such as the ''[[Bihu]]'' songs, (common in South-East Asia and East Asia) besides languorous music of other forms.

The legend of ''Princess Usha of [[Sonitpur district|Sonitpur]]'' and her cohort ''[[Chitralekha (deity)|Chitralekha]]'' also enlighten us on the musical expertise of the Assamese women.{{citation needed|date=July 2019}}
The connoisseurs however, have divided the classical Assamese music into two parts – ''[[Borgeet]]'' and ''[[Ojapali]]''. The composers of ''[[Borgeet]]''s, ''[[Sankardev]]'' and his disciple ''[[Madhavdev]]'' added versatility to Assamese music.
