This is a folk song from Assam. Tokari is a form of traditional folk music in Assam, which also originates from the Assamese instrument dukari. 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.

Context-
This is a form of Folk singing from Assam called "Tokai" as it's played with a single stringed instrument of the same name. This particular song describes the
playful and often mischievous antics of a young Lord Krishna and his troubled mother.
The Song-
Lord Krishna's would merrily get away with mischief and his disregards towards the chores given by his mother.
Krishna is loitering around in the forest and playing his flute, tapping the beat with his feet...but he's supposed to look after his cattle ? He plays his mesmerizing
flute by the banks of the Yamuna River, blissful under the shade of a tree! The Gopis (his female companions) warn him...Wait Krishna your mother is coming to
get you.... where will you run today? But they say "your flute mesmerizes us and makes us forget everything...but your mother will still come and catch you and
tie you up to the same tree as punishment... cause you have forsaken your duty towards your herd!!"
Where will you run today O Krishna!!
