Seto leelo is the Setos' polyphonic style of folk singing.[1]
In 2009, the Seto leelo was added to the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage.[1] Seto leelo is usually performed by women,[1] dressed in traditional clothing.[2] During the Seto Kingdom Day celebration, the winning lead singer of a leelo group is awarded the title of "Mother of Song".[1]
