Quote:

We will always feel we’re Nagas. There’s a huge cultural difference. But we are able to embrace India, understand Indian culture…only if you’re a Naga, you will understand. You have a sense of belonging to a smaller degree to India. Your identity is always as a Naga…you can have a sense of belonging to India.

Music Video Album review: Tullel Lawkta by Zami Hauzel

Love/Patriotic, Paite, DVD Video, ZRS, Muanlal Home Studio, Skylight: With the involvement of Muanlal (Muanlal Home Studio), it’s safe to say Zami Hauzel’s Tullel Lawkta has been braided out from his preceding Nancy Biaklun’s Muikhozing which reprised and remixed the best of old Love songs: Of the eleven tracks the album has to offer, from the title track Tullel Lawkta written by (L) S. Kaizadal which has attribute of power-classic, to G. K. Gualnam’s Vangkhua Khatlou, Zansawt Leidi and V. Paukhansiam’s Lamka. The classic styles of these songs quietly are affable to Zami Hauzel’s vocal. But the reprised songs – Lianlunching’s Muikhozing, Ncy Doungel’s Khuambang kip In and Aw Ka Hinkhua and Boisy Chongloi’s Ka Lunggel – however shamed her; she couldn’t escape the embedded signatures of either Lainlunching in Muikhozing or Lynda Vaiphei in Aw Ka Hinkhua.
