“Ngo si hariang nyoku gahar kun

Hugulo so chingma

Ngam nyi malang kade kade do

Alle bo ejee ngo geyma”

This is the first verse of the song ‘Hugulo’ by folk singer-songwriter Taba Chake from Arunachal Pradesh, sung in his native language, Nyishi. Whether you understand the language or not, it’s his music that moves you. On this episode of Maed in India, Taba talks about the correct way to pronounce his name, how he didn’t get fed in boarding school, why he dropped out of music school, and that house on the hill. He also plays you music from his debut multi-lingual album Bombay Dreams, along with an unreleased and untitled song which will feature in his next album!
