- Abstract
Sorathi folk music is a vital component of Sikkim's cultural identity and is only one of the many traditional art forms that make up the state's rich cultural history. However, there is a critical need to maintain and protect this musical culture in light of the digital era and shifting societal dynamics. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the difficulties associated with maintaining Sorathi traditional music in Sikkim and to provide practical solutions to ensure its survival in the digital age. This case study focuses on Sikkim, a state renowned for its cultural richness, and the preservation of Sorathi folk music. Traditional art forms encounter difficulties with continuity and preservation in the digital era. Folk music from the Sorathi region of India is of great cultural significance since it is so ingrained in the life of the Sorathi people. The project examines how technology and digital platforms might be used to record, preserve, and spread this musical history. It looks for ways to get young people interested in and supportive of Sorathi folk music. The report provides information about programs including community engagement, online archives, and digitization. It attempts to advise on how to keep conventional artistic traditions alive across the world. The instance of Sikkim's Sorathi folk music emphasizes the significance of utilizing technology while upholding tradition to preserve cultural heritage in the digital era.
