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.
