The Tetseo Sisters launched their second album on December 2 during the ongoing 26th Hornbill Festival at the Chakhesang Morung, Naga Heritage Village, Kisama. The album was released by Nagaland’s Minister of Tourism and Higher Education, Temjen Imna Along, who lauded the band for their efforts in bringing Nagaland’s culture and music to the global stage.
Titled “Li Chapter 2 – Life. Origins. Roots,” the album is the group’s second studio release — a 17-track exploration of indigenous Chokri Naga music. Featuring traditional a cappella vocals, the ancient single-stringed Tati instrument, and original compositions in the Chokri language, the album blends oral tradition, vocal harmony, and contemporary artistry.
Rooted in the lived experiences of the Chakhesang Naga people, the album reflects on identity, love, loss, resilience, and the deep connection between land, language, and self. Each track serves as both a cultural expression and a personal statement, honoring ancestral wisdom while inviting global listeners into an intimate and rarely heard soundscape. With minimal production and strong emotional resonance, the album relies on the raw power of voice and tradition to tell timeless stories.
With Li Chapter 2, the Tetseo Sisters offer a distinct and authentic voice to the global music landscape, reaffirming the relevance and beauty of indigenous music. The album has been accepted for Grammy consideration in the category of Best Global Music Album 2026. Thuvopisumi Welfare Society Chairman, Vezoto Tetseo, pronounced the blessings.
The album is now available on all major streaming platforms.
