Ereimang Return with Manipuri Folk-Meets-Rock on 'Heirangkhoi'

Manipuri folk/noise-rock project Ereimang’s second song “Heirangkhoi” brings heavy riffs and powerful Manipuri vocals from singer Nganthoibi Ningthouja to a song about the cycle of life and relationships.

Their first release of the year, “Heirangkhoi” follows Ereimang’s debut single “Kwakta Lamjel” from 2023 which introduced the band founded by Bengaluru-based artist Kamal Singh. The new song comes with a music video directed by Heisnam Shantanu and shot by Khaba Maimom carrying forward their inclination for storytelling through ancient tribal tales, dance forms (with performers Ningthouja and Purnima Yengkokpam) and of course, heavy rock riffs.

ANDRÉ 3000 'I'D RATHER GO AMATEUR INTERESTING THAN MASTER BORING

West Los Angeles' Gjusta Bakery is bustling on a sunny Friday afternoon. Sevenfoot-high stacks of flour bags lay near the entrance, soon to be turned into pastries. The main room is full of locals seeking an early-afternoon pick-me-up, but the backyard is quieter, with rustic tables and large plants under a makeshift roof made of golden tarp. André 3000 walks in unassumingly, dapping me and joking that our shared first name is a great one. I agree as we sit and get acquainted over matcha lattes. Dressed in a camouflage jacket, pants in a different camo pattern, and his trademark red beanie, André mentions that he's been under the weather after traveling home from Japan, where he and his bandmates recently played six improvised instrumental shows at Blue Note Tokyo.
