Abstract	Ecomusicology refers to an academic field, interdisciplinary in nature, that studies the cordial association in the fields of music, culture and nature. The paper focusses on threads of identity. ‘Threads of identity’, here, implies the feeling of belongingness that has been constant throughout the ages in a given context. The existence of the river Brahmaputra is much older than the beginning of the human civilisation on its bank. The might and magnanimity of the river with its water flow from East to West creates a phenomenal reality gifting an alluvial atmosphere for generating creative spirit in the works of various art forms. The shift of considering the river Brahmaputra from the idea of a physical entity to a psychological one marks the functioning of cultural memory. Cultural memory, leading to collective identity, explores the societal remembrance and employing the past through shared knowledge and practices.
