Dadaria
Dadaria (Chhattisgarhi: ददरिया) is one of various types of folk-songs or field-songs[1] of the state of Chhattisgarh in India. These songs were very popular and part of folklore before the 1970s and were sung by village men or women while harvesting in paddy fields or during leisure. In the late 1980s, the singing of these songs by any man before a woman or women in private were considered to be socially unacceptable due to intimate language of these songs which had developed mostly as 'question and response' between a male-female duet. The dadaria songs are now available on recorded tapes and compact discs on audio and video. The famous professional dadaria singers include Sheikh Hussain[2] and Mamta Chandrakar.
A famous song Sasural Genda Phool from the movie Delhi-6 has been adapted from a dadaria.[3]
