Music Video | "Tring Tring - Marks of War " by Purple Fusion Band, Nagaland
Here is the first official music video of Purple Fusion Band, Nagaland.
About the song as described on the video description:
"TRING TRING - MARKS OF WAR" is a song and a music video based on a Sangtam Folk Tale about a warrior called Yangpongse. Yangpongse was a warrior leader who went on many head hunting expeditions and every time he came back home from a successful trip he would notice the birds in the forest calling and singing"Tring Tring"to one another. This calling of the birds is the title of the song" Tring Tring".
The first part of the video signifies the life of Naga's in the olden days .During those days , a naga lived and earned respect, status and honour when he becomes a successful Head hunter. The "Marks of war " i.e the tattoo a warrior gets to put on his hands and body signifies the authenticity of a brave and successful warrior among the clan and tribe in Nagaland: India. The second half of the music video portrays the transition of the Naga society from the Head hunting days to this Modern age. It depicts a warrior from the village coming to a city and being mesmerized by the modernity of this age. It also signifies the unimportance of having a tattoo on your body as a statement of Bravery, Status and Honour.
The head hunting culture has stopped after naga's accepted Christianity. "

Rewben Mashangva- The King of Naga Folk Blues
Rewben is hailed in the Northeast as 'The King of Naga Folk Blues'. Rewben Mashangva's latest songs in the musical movie "Songs of Mashangva (DVD)" which was honored a National award and premiered in several countries is available in various online stores [ see link ]. The film is by Oinam Doren and distributed by Times Music. More about the film at the end of the post.
Watch Rewben Mashangva -a Tangkhul Naga, a performer, songwriter, and music researcher from Ukhrul, jam with "The Dewarists" in Shillong. Probably a Tangkhul can explain to us what the words in the song mean. But even if some of us don't know what the Tangkhul words mean, it is a great feeling of pride to see our Naga folk tune blended in such a musical harmony that makes it so good to listen to. Be patient to wait till 3:00 and hear the Naga folk tune come to live. Enjoy!
Excerpt from the YouTube video description:
"Fittingly, our season finale takes place in Shillong, Meghalaya -also known as the Scotland of the East. The episode features The Raghu Dixit Project, an act that has truly pushed boundaries to make dramatic strides both in Indian and in international markets. Joining them is Guru Rewben Mashangva, a performer, songwriter, and music researcher who is hailed in the Northeast as 'The King of Naga Folk Blues'".

LongLiveCinema.com: "Songs of Mashangva", the national award winning musical film’s DVD is now available in all leading Music/DVD stores across the country and 7 online shopping sites. The film is distributed by Times Music.
The idea for the musical film was conceived way back in college when the national award winning filmmaker Oinam Doren was doing his graduation and heard Rewben Mashangva’s music for the first time. The melodious tunes which Mashangva described as ‘naga folk blues’ rooted to the tangkhul folk music was something the young music lover/collector Doren has never heard before. Eight years later, the father of naga folk blues and the
filmmaker met by accident in a studio that led them to collaborate on three musical films. Songs of Mashangva is the first of the trilogy which went on to have its world premiere in Leipzig, Germany. The festival reports that it received about 2,800 submissions from 97 different countries out of which about 300 films were screened. It was followed with more screenings in a number of film festivals around the world and finally the National Awards, the highest filmmaking award in India given by the President. Wherever it was screened, the film won rave appreciation for its soundtrack and the mesmerizing photography shot for about a year and half in some of the most exotic locations in Rajasthan, Shillong, Nagaland, Kolkatta and a number of foggy, mysterious villages in Manipur.
Songs of Mashangva is for those travelers, music/film or art lovers who is looking forward to explore and experience sounds & visuals from another lonely exhilarating locations of India".
