“Oyya oyya” is a popular Tulu work song, sung while trans planting rice, in a call and response style.

This is an asaare song, a rice planting song sung in June, when the men are ploughing and the women are transplanting the seedlings from the nursery fields. Damai musicians sit along the water-retaining dykes of the paddy fields, playing their panchai baajaa instruments and singing. The lyrics are very light-hearted and comical, with many innuendos to help ease the pain of hard labor in the heat and heavy rain.\nInstruments: panchai baajaa
