Melo Jajine (Official Music Video) - Dobom Doji Collective

‘Melo Jajine’ is a tribute and a vibrant tapestry of the Galo tribe. This evocative song delves into the tribe's rich history of migration, culture, and a way of life that transcends generations. It emphasises the importance of preserving the wisdom of forefathers and passing it down to the next, creating a harmonious bridge between the past and the future.

We dedicate this song to Shri Moge Doji, we hope we did justice to his composition.

MELO JAJINE DESCRIPTION:
In the epochs of morrow and the day thereafter, ‘Jajin Ja" was birthed, resonating since our human settlement on Earth.

The wisdom and the counsel of our forefathers still echoes
The tales they wove in the journeys from one place to another
Let us spread them forth, so they're not lost.

Once united in Ato, Topo, and Karbo's embrace, our people wove a shared story, yet, the quiet whispers of "nyime nyime" ushered in a subtle division among clans.

In the soil's embrace, ‘Ejo Epo’ thrived, a shrub of purpose,
‘Pumte Juren’, the gourd, held opo(rice beer) and water with tradition, and our forefathers diligently cultivated and planted them.

Amidst the hills, the tribals found their root and lived in harmony; while the mainland dwellers thrived where the land sloped down.

Once united in Ato, Topo and Karbo’s embrace, our people wove a shared story, yet, the quiet whispers of a rift ushered in a subtle division among clans..
