Secondly, "Jolu" (plaintive songs). It serves as a musical form for man to express his sadness and feeling of missing.
Furthermore, "Chalu" (singing in a sitting position). It is sung at home in daily life.
The last one, "Changselu" (singing at marriage). When performing, it is accompanied by certain rites. Different from the other forms of the Sherpa folk music, its rhythm is not clear and the melody is freer. Besides, it features reciting elements.
