Tetseo Sisters are a musical act of four sisters from the North-Eastern state of India, Nagaland. They are devoted to the art and tradition of the vocal folk music of the state.〔(Candid conversation with Tetseo Sisters – Mercy, Azi, Kuku and Lulu ), ''EF News International''〕 == Life and career == The Tetseo Sisters Mütsevelü (Mercy), Azine (Azi), Kuvelü (Kuku) and Alüne (Lulu) grew up in Kohima, the capital of Nagaland, and belong to the Chakhesang Naga tribe, one of the major Naga tribes. They sing in Chokri, the dialect of the region around Phek.〔(Vishü Rita Krocha: ''Tetseo Sisters : Cultural Ambassadors extraordinaire'' ) (Eastern Mirror, retrieved 1 September 2012)〕 From early days, their parents acquainted the girls with ''Li'', the traditional songs of their home region. They first performed as a group in 1994 and have been making regular appearances since 2000 at the Hornbill festival, Nagaland's biggest annual cultural event and several other festivals and events. Growing popularity made them enlarge their radius, performing all over Nagaland, the Seven Sister States, and other Indian states. During Mercy and Azi's period of study, they made numerous appearances as a duo in New Delhi; while Kuku and Lulu carried on in Kohima. The sisters are regularly invited to show their art on the occasion of official promotions as Nagaland's cultural ambassadors/representatives both at home and abroad.
