First of all, Its an honour and privilege. I had a great time writing the review of this Music video.
It was a very wise choice and a good strategy to pick this old local traditional classic, instead of western songs like any other musician or artiste would do.
Even though I'd never heard the song, I felt like i knew the song from the first time i heard it because of its catchy and friendly melody.
The interlude took all my attention from the word go. Deuel played very well and maintained the intensity and the melody throughout the song. The variations between the songs were amazing and breath taking. He captured the emotions of the song very well that, even without the lyrics sung, i could literally feel the song. The harmonics were very well placed and it gave more edge to the song.
The video took me back to the old western movies; the colour tone , location selection, editing, cinematography and directing. Basing on the budget, the final outcome was very impressive.
Best wishes to the entire team for taking the initiative to keep this old traditional music alive and taking music from North east to another level.
