We are the World



















Emi
has started a mission that carries the massage of late Micheal Jackson.

[it is interesting and little unreasonable that why black MJ wanted to become a white MJ,  is this all for inferiority and social dilemma, his dislike of big nose, black skin and his likeness of Caucasian appeal, for this effort we some friends were irritated with him, actually we more to music of dire straits, pink floyd, scorpions etc, in our growing up, we usually avoided pop genre, but we listen and we bound to listen songs like “we are the world”, “heal the world”, “black and white” etc, all these song with so strong social massage and somehow reflects MJ’s anger to all injustice, social prejudice. Later part of his life he converted to Islam (according to news) and this also remind us another great black American Mohammad Ali and cause of this conversion was racial discrimination. Mother of his children is stripped off from parental right to her son and daughter in exchange of money which is also very much ironical.
But the end of the day it is his music that wins, that win heart of people, through his music he able to possess in the heart of countless people around the world, it is his music which is tirelessly propagating a true human spirit “we are the world”.]

Saramati tears by ABIOGENESIS

 

In Nagaland Saramati hill range is the biggest in the mountain range of Nagaland and is situated on the extreme south east of the state. At 3841 mt , Saramati Peak is highest in Nagaland and it remains snow covered during winter. The mountain range is covered with rich , natural and diverse forests , visible at various altitudes , ranging from sub-tropical ever green and semi ever green to temperate broad leaved and Alpine vegetation. It also has good bio-diversity with natural flora and fauna and various kinds of orchids.


"Saramati tears" This track describes the anquished of Mt Saramati, the tallest peak in Nagaland, India caused by the fratricide state Nagaland is in. It appeals for peace love and harmony.
"Abiogenesis" is into experimental music and their tireless effort has resulted in developing a new genre which they have named it Howey Music. It's a fusion of Naga Folk tunes with modern rock. Another outstanding feature is that they play a new wind musical instrument made of bamboo which was invented by a band member- Moa Subong . Bamhum was unveiled by the Governor of Meghalaya during the International Bamboo festival on 3rd May 05 at Shillong. Meghalaya. Abiogenesis is the only band in the world that palys Howey music and the Bamhum.
Their album "Rustic Relish" was listed in the 51st Grammy Awards in 4 categories. And "Aeon Spell" was listed for the 50th Grammy Awards in two categories for the Best Contemporary World Music Album and as Best Rock Performance by a duo or group with vocals.

This Band has an extra ordinaire female vocalist Moa Subong who can Rock like the legendary Janis Joplin and at the same time melt your heart with her sweet voice resulting in songs never heard before.In addition, there are some harmonica instrumental tracks to sooth every mood. Howey Rock, a new form of music developed by Abiogenesis. It is unique and melodic. Not satisfied with just playing mainstream music and their hunger to take music to a higher level, the band went further into exploration & experimentation which resulted in a new form of world music which they have named `Howey`. Howey is a sound developed by Moa & Arenla of Abiogenesis and it is a fusion of Naga (Tribe in India) Folk and modern music.Most of the tracks have the Bamhum as the leading instrument.Ofcourse the band plays other genres too.



















 

Band members:
Arenla: Vocals / Lead Bamhum. Only female member.
Moa : Guitar/Bamhum/Harmonica and main composer of the band.
Longden: Lead guitar An accomplish classical guitarist.
Kongdir: Bass. Also an accomplish classical guitarist too.
Imli: Drums/Percussions


Mao Subong said: "Music comes from the heart and can penetrate one's heart. So, through music we are trying to appeal for love, peace and harmony among various sections of the people. And I am sure, music can move the mountain, a small child to even the elderly. It can shed tears. It can make you laugh. So, I am very certain that with music the band can reach out to each and everyone's heart."

Arenla, his co musician, said: "We have made a space on the cultural thing, so that our culture is also not lost. So, we have picked something from our folk tunes to incorporate it with modern tune, thus making our culture to live again."

a good song


How low
are you willing to go
before you reach all
your selfish goals.
Punch line after punch line
leaving us sore,
leaving us sore.
Absorbed
in your ill hustling
you're feeding a monster,
just feeding a monster.
Invasion
after invasian,
this means war,
this means war.
Someday you'll be up to your knees
in the shit you seed.
All the gullible
that you mislead
won't be up or it.
Where to
will you relocate
now that it's war.
Now that it's war

Song by José González

Powerfull tight lyrics, very impressive composition along with his attractive voice
