Blogs Tokari - Papon at Coke Studio @ MTV Posted
August 25, 2012 @ 19:00 pm Watch the whole video and read up on the inspiration, the lyrics and the people behind this song! 
This is a folk song from Assam. Tokari is a form of traditional folk music in Assam, which also originates from the Assamese instrument Tukari. Papon has added a lot of electronic elements to the song. This form of folk music is slowly dying out in Assam & this is Papon’s attempt to give it some focus and bring it back to life.
