Featherheads Haiku has released their new music video Haonao. Haonao is a song from the “Haonao EP” which is a follow up to the ‘Ihao Thot’ single by Featherheads Haokui which was released in 2018.
The song revolves around the theme of the call for a cultural awakening among the Naga comtemporaries. It seeks to remind the listeners about what the true essence of being a Tangkhul Naga is.
This connection is made through the lyrics on how the Tangkhul Nagas of yore lived in perfect harmony and peace with mother nature but how our generation today have polluted the very environment that survives us.
The issue is which the whirlwind of modernisation has left so many youth lost in the deluge of various addictions is also addressed in the song.
Haonao calls all the listeners to once live firm, truthful and strong which was at the core of every Tangkhul Naga community of the past. It pleads the listeners not to fall away from one’s culture but to seek one’s origin and strive to root oneself again in the rich and proud culture of the Tangkhul ancestors.
