Northeast India is very much blessed with talents, mesmerizing landscapes, and they are very much known for their love and passion for music alongside their rich culture. Music surpasses beyond boundaries and helps unite people of all races.

Bringing to you Mr. Nightbirth Cheran Momin hailing from William Nagar Garo hills part of Meghalaya and the sweet little seven year old Akumsen Lemtur from Mokokchung district of Nagaland their wonderful collaboration amidst the prevailing pandemic.

"It was in January when I happened to see one of their videos and was just amazed by their passion for music. I just dropped a comment to appreciate in one of their videos, later they did the same in one of my videos and slowly began the idea of collaboration though it was a casual proposal initially" Nightbirth said.

Here is what it sounds like when two talented artists from the two hills sing with their enchanting voices echoing over hills and mountains of the northeast. Listen to their wonderful cover of Mockingbird Yodel(Taylor Ware)
