Question 2

Why book Abiogenesis through StarClinch? What are the advantages?

Accepted Answer

When you book through us, your payment is secure (we hold it in an escrow-style system until the job is done), and the artist profile is verified.

It’s peace of mind, plain and simple.

Question 3

Why should I consider Abiogenesis for my event? What unique value do they bring?

Accepted Answer

If you want your audience to stop scrolling on their phones and actually *listen*, this is the act. Abiogenesis isn't just a cover band; they are the inventors of their own sound—literally. They play the **Bamhum**, a bamboo wind instrument, and the **Tikzik**, a bamboo percussion instrument.

Both were invented by band member Moa Subong. You won't hear these sounds anywhere else because, well, no one else has them!

Their performance is a mix of high-energy music and storytelling. Arenla, the frontwoman, doesn't just sing; she narrates the untold stories of Nagaland, turning the concert into a cultural immersion. It’s perfect if you want to offer your guests a [Live Band](https://starclinch.com/book-band-online) experience that feels educational yet incredibly exotic.

Question 4

What makes Abiogenesis stand out compared to others in their field?

Accepted Answer

Two words: **Grammy Nomination**.

Seriously—their album *Aeon Spell* was listed for nominations in the **50th Grammy Awards** for Best Contemporary World Music Album. That is a massive deal. They also aren't just locally known; they've taken their "Howey" music (a fusion of Naga folk and modern rock) to stages in **Russia, Thailand, and Myanmar**.

Most bands bring guitars and drums; Abiogenesis brings a piece of Nagaland's soul wrapped in modern rock, creating a soundscape that actually won the **Best Alternative Song** at the Akademia Music Awards in Los Angeles. They are in a league of their own.

Question 5

I keep seeing the term 'Howey music' on their profile. What exactly is that?

Accepted Answer

Great question. "Howey" is essentially a genre that Abiogenesis evolved themselves. It’s a fusion of **Naga folk tunes** and other Indian folk elements blended with modern musical forms like rock and jazz.

The result is something indigenous yet surprisingly modern—they describe it as an "exotic and beautiful" sound that hasn't been heard before. It’s upbeat, rhythmic, and driven by those unique bamboo instruments I mentioned earlier. If you are tired of the same old pop covers, Howey music is the sonic palate cleanser your event needs.

Question 6

Can you tell me more about these invented instruments, the Bamhum and Tikzik?

Accepted Answer

This is the coolest part of their setup. The **Bamhum** is a bamboo wind instrument that Moa Subong invented. It completely changed the band's sonic identity, becoming their lead instrument—Arenla plays the lead on it while Moa handles the harmony.

Then there's the **Tikzik**, a bamboo percussion instrument also invented by Moa. It adds this distinct, earthy rhythm that standard drums just can't replicate. It’s rare to book an [Instrumentalist](https://starclinch.com/book-instrumentalist-online) who is playing a device they actually birthed into existence. It makes for a fantastic talking point during the show.

Question 7

What kind of events are Abiogenesis best suited for?

Accepted Answer

Given their fusion style and cultural depth, they are phenomenal for:
- **Cultural Festivals:** They fit right in with diverse, artsy crowds.
- **Corporate Galas:** especially those looking for a sophisticated, "World Music" vibe rather than a noisy party band.
- **State or Diplomatic Events:** I mean, they performed for **160 Consul Generals at the RajBhawan in Mumbai**. They know how to handle a VIP crowd.

They work best where the audience is ready to appreciate the music, rather than just having it as background noise.

Question 8

What is the price range for booking Abiogenesis?

Accepted Answer

Budget-wise, you're generally looking at a range between **₹70,000 and ₹1,00,000**.

However, keep in mind that this can fluctuate. Travel from Nagaland to your venue (say, if you're in Delhi or Mumbai), accommodation for the band members (Arenla, Moa, Kora, and Aso), and specific technical requirements can affect the final quote. The best move? Use that inquiry form to get a custom price for your specific date.

Question 9

Does the band have any specific technical requirements for their performance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they do. Since they use unique acoustic-based instruments like the Bamhum and Tikzik alongside electric guitars and drums, a balanced sound system is non-negotiable.

They will need:
*   High-quality microphones capable of picking up the subtle tones of the bamboo instruments.
*   Standard backline gear (amps for bass/guitar, drum kit).
*   Monitors so they can hear themselves clearly.

Don't worry about the specifics too much right now—once you start the booking process, we help coordinate their technical rider with your sound team to ensure those bamboo tones ring out perfectly.
