The rustic sounds of Bamhum and Tikzik, two new-age Naga bamboo musical instruments fill your ears as you watch Abiogenesis, a Folk fusion band from Nagaland, play an instrumental piece in a green-carpeted North-eastern valley in a video uploaded on YouTube. This Saturday, the four-piece band will recreate magic with their sound at CIDCO in Vashi, as part of Songs & Dances Of North East, a day-long festival featuring sounds from the region. The fest, presented by North Eastern Council, Shillong and Ministry of DoNER (Development of North Eastern Region), makes its debut in the city after being held in Delhi earlier.
