The Kiratas aim to promote the unparalleled Bodo heritage in music.Below is a chat with one of the member of The Kiratas
I felt the change in the genre of your band from folk rock to alternative rock in your newest song
We don’t deliberately try to be genre specific when we write music. If a tune clicks we start working on it. Besides our next video is more folk- Oriented . It has got Serja and Sifung incorporated with guitars and drums in the song.

‘Phoong Phoong’ is a simple street savvy rock tune about a young average guy who is late for his date.

How did the idea of making the official video come up?
We like to keep things simple. We needed a simple story so that we can make a music video out of it. We wanted to do a basic pop-rock tune experimenting a tad bit with samples. We worked round the clock for 72 hours straight and shot 2 music videos. We are glad that people from all over India are enjoying it. ‘Bibara Barwbla’ featuring Sikiri Brahma and several other folk artists is our next music video that we are planning to release next month.
