A new music video titled “Tring Tring – Marks of War”, performed by Azi Rudy, has been released on YouTube.
The project serves as a tribute to late Lamtsala Sangtam, the iconic vocalist of Purple Fusion, whose voice and music left a lasting impact on Naga contemporary folk-rock.
Inspired by a Sangtam Naga folk tale, Tring Tring takes its name from the calls of birds believed to echo through the forests after a warrior’s victorious return.
The music video offers a visual interpretation of this folklore, reflecting on themes of courage, identity and cultural memory, while placing them in dialogue with present-day realities.
Through striking imagery and symbolic storytelling, the video connects the past with the present, highlighting how concepts of honour and bravery have evolved over time yet remain deeply rooted in Naga society.
The music video has been directed by Macnivil, with video production handled by Nestvibe Studio.
The song was recorded, mixed and mastered at The Kitchen Studio, delivering a sound that balances raw emotion with modern production quality.
The project was shot with the support of RCEMPA Hall, Jotsoma, which served as the official venue partner.
Tring Tring – Marks of War stands as both a cultural expression and a tribute, honouring legacy, storytelling and the evolving identity of Naga music in the modern era.
