This is a musical genre of the [[Tamang people]] and popular amongst the Nepali speaking community in West Bengal, Sikkim, India and around the world. It is accompanied by Tamang instruments, the [[Madal]], [[Damphu drum|Damphu]] and [[Tungna]], although nowadays musicians have taken to modern instruments. A Tamang Selo can be catchy and lively or slow and melodious, and is usually sung to convey sorrow, love, happiness or day-to-day incidents and stories of folklore.<ref>{{Cite web|last=(ACCU)|first=Asia⁄Pacific Cultural Centre for UNESCO|title=Asia-Pacific Database on Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH)|url=https://www.accu.or.jp/ich/en/arts/A_NPL12.html|access-date=2018-07-21|website=www.accu.or.jp}}</ref>
