Биография

Tetseo Sisters are siblings who have spent their young lives promoting the nearly forgotten music of the Chakhesang Naga tribe that they inherited from their parents. They like to call themselves storytellers who present songs passed down the traditional oral way to their audiences with a contemporary twist. The group comprises of siblings Mercy, Azi, Kuvelu and Alune and their music is produced by their musician/composer/producer brother Mhaseve Tetseo. They hail from Nagaland’s Kohima and write/sing in the Chokri Naga dialect as well as English and Hindi. Their songs are melodious, focused on vocal harmonies - rich in tones and nuances culminating in a startling perfection of rhymes and rhythm. Adorned in the traditional Naga garb, these cultural ambassadors have been widely received and appreciated wherever they have shared their music. They have appeared on countless stages across the globe and at major Music festivals in the country - their audience ranging from school children to head of states and music lovers all over; and have represented the country at events in the UK, USA and Southeast Asia. Li or the songs of the people as presented by the Tetseo Sisters is a celebration of the unique Naga way of life in a way it has been rarely portrayed - timeless and yet contemporary. Their efforts at promoting Folk and Fusion Music have won them numerous accolades including the Nagaland Governor’s Award for excellence in Music.
