Abiogenesis is a Folk-Fusion band from Dimapur (Nagaland), formed in 1992 and has been performing since 2005. They describe their sound as a form of world music called ‘Howey music’. Frontman Moa Subong One performs with a wind instrument he has invented called the bamhum. Not satisfied with just playing mainstream music and their hunger to take music to a higher level, the band went further into exploration and experimentation which resulted in a new form of world music. Abiogenesis is the only band in the world that plays Howey & Bamhum. Known for their energetic and lively acts, they have performed in many places in India, Thailand and Myanmar.



Making Proud :  Their album 'Aeon Spell', 'Rustic Relish' and 'Slice of Heaven'  were listed for nominations in the Grammys and is the only band in the world to play Howey & Bamhum (instruments).
