Nagaland’s Abiogenesis comes to Mumbai.
Abiogenesis, Nagaland’s famed band which fuses Naga folk tunes with modern rock will be playing tonight at Blue Frog. They call their sound Howey Music and guitarist Mao Subong is credited with inventing a the Bamhum, a bamboo wind instrument. The Bamhum was unveiled by the Governor of Meghalaya during the International Bamboo festival in May 05 at Shillong.
Their 10 track album, ‘Aeon Spell’ was released on July 07 by Saregama HMV. Aeon Spell was listed for the 50th Grammy Awards in 2 categories as the Best Contemporary World Music Album and as Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals.
Have a look at one of their amazingly different performances here.
Naina Pakiza is an aspiring journo and a pianist. Though her choice of instrument is strictly classical she's been rumored to have been a Britney fan. But like she says, thats all ancient history, its been all Tchaikovsky, Rossini and Bellini since she turned 15.1 Comment
