Your live singer in Nagaland

Nagaland’s tribes, among them the Angami, Ao, Konyak, Lotha and Sumi, each have distinctive dress, folk songs and festivals. The Hornbill Festival, held in the first week of December at the Kisama Heritage Village, brings all the tribes together for dance, food and music, and it has become one of India’s great cultural events.

The state is largely Christian, and gospel and choir music are central to life. Rock, country and pop are loved, and the Hornbill Rock Contest and Nagaland’s bands have a loyal following. Live music is a part of every celebration, and the standard of local musicians is high.

A Hindi and English acoustic set suits the audience, and the state is known for its gentle manners. Events are usually alcohol-free by law, and the band plans accordingly.

The year in Nagaland

The Hornbill Festival in early December is the high point, and Christmas follows. Each tribe has its own harvest festivals, such as Moatsu and Sekrenyi. The monsoon is wet, and winter is mild.

What Nagaland hosts expect

The people are courteous and devout, and Sunday is a day of rest. Performers respect church customs and local rules.

A gospel-and-rock set for Nagaland

A concert might begin with a hymn such as Amazing Grace, continue with English rock and country classics and bring in Hindi favourites like Tum Hi Ho. Hornbill week crowds love a high-energy finish, and a local band is often invited to share the stage.

Planning a booking in Nagaland

Kohima, the capital, and Dimapur, the commercial city with the airport, hold most events. The Hornbill Festival near Kohima in early December is the state’s big occasion, and churches across the state host concerts and choir events.

Visitors need an Inner Line Permit, arranged by the host, and the state’s prohibition laws mean events are alcohol-free. Roads between Dimapur and Kohima are slow, so the band arrives a day ahead. Sunday is kept free for church.
