The Wancho ladies sing this while pounding grain. The rhythmic phrases keep the ladies synchronised through the process to avoid accidents. It also serves to take away exertion and monotony from the physical labour leaving the group light-hearted and tight-knit.
The Wancho men sing Lailun, a traditional love song.
