The music of Assam consists various genres of folk and modern music, drawing its artistic basis from the history of Assam, from 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. Assamese mesmerising numbers like 'He mai joshowa', 'Eaiti ba kon olale', and 'Soner boron' songs are considered classic. 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-based or folk music (Raaga-based) forms from the rest of India. This can be seen in all folk music incuding Bihu Geet, Kamrupiya Lokageet, Goalporiya Lokgeet, Tokari Geet.

Despite its long history and its artistic successes, Assamese music has never really managed to break through on the national scene despite its film industry making a mark in the National Awards over the years. In recent times, starting from the late eighties, popular artistes have modernized the music far away from its obsession with folk tunes and Bihu melodies. With the advent of recongnised singers like Bhupen Hazarika, Zubeen Garg, Papon, Axl Hazarika, Tarali Sarma, Neel Akash and many others brought the Assamese and Jollywood music to forefront of Indian music.
