SHILLONG: Nagaland based music band Abiogenesis mesmerized the New Delhi crowd this August 16 with their Naga Howey Music and Bamhum, the new Indian wind musical instrument invented by band member Moa Subong.
The concert was organized by Indian Council for Cultural Relations at its Azad Bhawan auditorium located at IP Estate in the national capital.
The Howey Music and Bamhum, two different and all new genres for music lovers in the capital could be ascertained from the fact when they rained in huge numbers.
As the evening clock strike seven, the stages lights were illumined and the sound engineer gently pushed up the mixer master volume to its maximum peak level and the first song of the concert “Voices in Kisama” erupted from the sound system.
Abiogenesis with their two new young recruits Kora Aier, 24 on Bass and Akhiu Kips, 17 on drums gave an energetic power packed one hour performance from 7 to 8 pm with tracks from their four albums.
After the band played their last song, the crowd did not disperse but demanded for more and it obliged with “Time For A Change”, from their latest album “Legacy of The Mountains”, a song which tells about potholes, power cuts and even asking the people how change can come about when the mandate is already sold and even praying to God to intervene.
The band has stressed that the change doesn’t necessarily mean changing of leaders but reviving oneself and dedicating to usher progress and development. The concert was also aired by Doordarsan National and Doordarshan NE.
