Abiogenesis, the Howey music band from Nagaland, has come up with its latest single ‘Up on the Mountains’. The album was globally released on June 25 through Songdew Music Label and is now available on all major digital stores.
The starting line ‘Ororo’ is an Ao-Naga exclamation to draw attention or cheer. Tikzik, the new bamboo percussion with multiple sounds, is played in the beginning and between breaks and the Bamhum, the unique wind bamboo musical instrument, is played before the guitar solo. Both Tikzik and Bamhum are invented by Abiogenesis band member Moa Subong.
Moa has also received the national award for his unique creation of Bamhum and is planning to produce it in bulk with help from the central government.
The audio of the new album is recorded and mastered by Moa Subong at Abiogenesis Centre for Performing Arts and Crafts and edited and mixed by Sosang at Music Bakery, Dimapur.

Besides the band, the music video also features cultural dance by Kuyingong Cultural Society, Dimapur, and couple Alex Murry and Marjo.
It is a collaboration of various production houses and videographers from Dimapur like Tinted Lights Studio, Menang Jamir, Abiogenesis Films, Akum Aier and Supong Al and directed by Arenla Subong.
