Abdon Mech at Artisjus Songbook Camp 2025 in Budapest.
Kohima, May 25 (MExN): Singer-songwriter Abdon Mech from Nagaland brought the voice of the Northeast to the world stage as he represented India at the recent Artisjus Songbook Camp 2025 in Budapest.
At the Songbook Camp, artists from across the globe—representing styles from Japanese pop to Afro beats, Hungarian folk to Indian indie—collaborated to create original tracks daily, culminating in high-energy listening sessions where creativity had no borders.
In this unique crucible of music, Abdon not only co-wrote tracks but also penned the anthem for the globally renowned Sziget Festival, alongside artists from Budapest.
The International Songbook Camp, organized by Artisjus, Hungarian non-profit organisation for the collective management of the rights of composers, lyricists and music publishers, became a vibrant melting pot, celebrating cultural exchange, sonic diversity, and artistic collaboration.
One of those platforms was provided by the Indian Performing Right Society Ltd. (IPRS), who along with the Task Force for Music and Arts (TaFMA), Government of Nagaland, championed Abdon’s participation in the camp.
