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. "
