Official Music Video of 'As We Go' by Tetseo Sisters ft. Naviin Gandharv © Li Tsale Records. Edited by Imchatsung Imchen

A TS travelogue from a three week road trip to Leh from Delhi in 2016. Shot along the Manali- Leh route in Jispa, Sarchu, Mooré Plains, Leh, Nubra Valley, Turtuk and Pangong Tso with glimpses of Kohima, Nagaland where we live and Mumbai, Maharashtra where the Pandit Gandharvs live.

The song 'As we go' is written by a very talented singer/musician Moa Walling - inspired by the style of traditional Ao folk worked into a ballad with lyrics in English. The song is a compelling reflection on the journey of Nagaland, especially her people through the many years of struggles and uncertainty; and is the prayer of every Naga for peace, hope and a bright future with God’s grace and light leading the way.

Interspersed with Chokri Naga Li harmonies and fused with classical Indian vibes in the form of Tabla, Belabaharr and Harmonium as accompaniment and a specially composed Aalaap by Pandit Naviin Gandharv, the song is a beautiful melodic and contemplative statement of folk meets contemporary and classical.

The song also has the distinctive sound of the Tati (Naga single stringed instrument), Khro-khro (gourd and cowrie shaker) and the National Award winning Bam hum invented/designed by Moa Subong of Naga band Abiogenesis.

The Belabaharr is a one of a kind instrument born of the fusion of the Sarangi and the Violin. An invention of Pandit Babulal Gandharv, an accomplished and renowned musician and played by his son, Pandit Naviin Gandharv - making him the only Belabaharr virtuoso in the world.
