Naga boys singing old English songs

Boys band from Nagaland singing classic English song at an open concert in Nagaland.

Most of the Nagas are very fond of music There are two distinct genres of music that exist in Nagaland: the choral/church/Christian type commonly known as gospel music and
the rock/pop genre commonly known as secular music.

Both types have their own distinct platforms, but their audience is by and large the same. In Nagaland, the platform for choral music is created by the church during conferences and crusades (special numbers, praise and worship etc.). Exclusive gospel concerts are also initiated by local churches, theological institutions or concerned individuals. Naga Choirs travel not only to places outside the state but also to foreign countries in order to perform for various world audiences. Many Naga musicians adopt traditional and folk tunes to lend a distinctive individuality to their music.

As for the rock/pop genre, platforms in terms of concerts and rock festivals are created generally by the concerned music fraternity themselves. The state has produced Internationally acclaimed Bands like Abiogenesis and Alobo Naga & the Band. The latter has been nominated for the MTV Europe Music Awards 2012 for their hit debut single Painted Dreams. This song has been ranked fourth at Cherokee America (India) presents VH1 Top 10 (for the week) on September 17 competing with artists like Maroon 5, Lady Gaga and Jay-Z etc.
