Plots
Tangkhul folk music strikes back in the modern age as "naga folk blues". In the deep hills of northeast india, Christianity and pop culture have taken over the lifestyle and imagination of the tangkhul tribes. Rewben Mashangva travels through the remote villages of the Tangkhul Naga to talk to the old people and collect traditional songs and instruments. The rhythms, melodies and lyrics form links to his own music, which he describes as Naga Folk Blues. In his traditional ‘haokuirat hairstyle’ and western boots along with his 9 year old son Saka, he performs across India and Southeast Asia spreading the message that there is no reason to be ashamed of one’s own culture and regard Western culture as superior.
