Nangeli song is a folk culture with distinct features of Darrang District . These Nangeli songs of sexual appeal emanating from the mouth of a poet of the previous day are an open qland sponteneous basic creation of the rural life if Mangaldai area.These songs have been going on for a long time but good thoughts have not been given so far to bring them to recorded status.
In any case,in the naming of Nangeli songs , Professor Dr. Naveen Sharma argued in a way that it was a Nangeli song because of the songs sung by people who were always involved in the daily activities of his "Asomiya Sahityar Aalok Rekha" on the other side , emerging artist writer Shri Revanchandra Nath's article " Nangeli Geet " in Mangaldai folk culture argues that "Nangeli" words can come from the word "Nangoth" . It cannot be said that both the criticisms written above do not have logic . because even if you say that songs are sung to address the rural life of that time , they can also be heard in songs that are similitude to the decorations of the fields on the other side sex appeal can also be said to be major as shephered boys can also be heard singing these songs with obscene words in the field.These songs are not inelegant to listen to or it indicates nudity though its tone and expressions are very fun.Even though it is can obcence song of life ,it has a literary collection .The songs mainly contain the spoken language sound of the southern region of Mangaldai.
The singing method of Nangeli Geet, Lailang Geet, Oghaitong Geet, Habitoliya Geet can be observed in the content of the "Loka-Naat". While singing this Nangeli Song the shepherds are divided into two parts and each group's shepherds and other shepherds attack each team with songs and physical gestures . Similarly,the other team's shepherds and other shepherds also responded with song and gesture in dramatic gestures .
Example:-
1st team,
Nadidi uti gel hoka
Oii johora
Nodidi uti gel hoka.
Tore mayerai o
Sithi di khedeisi
Oi johora.
Moke rakhba khujei oi dhoka
Oi johora
Moke rakhba khujei oi dhoka
2nd team,
Nodidi uti gel oi bahore mura,
Xunsane ai kola bemarot pori mora,
Tore bayere oi marer bukut pori mora,
Moke rakhba khujei oi poi,
Bea napabi dei khulkhali toi....

Nangeli namarba buli.
