About NEEM GOM [AWAKE!]

"Neem Gom" (Awake!) is a vibrant, rhythmic call to action that opens with the unmistakable "Kokro koo" of a morning rooster. The song paints a lively picture of a new dawn breaking, serving as a rousing wake-up call that urges the people to rise early and embrace the day's work with energy and purpose.

As the piece unfolds, it specifically calls upon different members of the community—from clerks (Karachi) and carpenters (Kapsinta) to drivers (Durobani) and doctors (Dokta)—reminding everyone that building the nation requires all hands on deck. For choirs, this makes it a fantastic, high-energy piece for cultural days, civic celebrations, or any gathering that calls for a spirit of unity and shared responsibility. The lively call-and-response in the refrain naturally invites the congregation to join in the momentum.
