The Zimkiur Village Students’ Union felicitated Sulim Yimkhiung, the artist behind the viral song “Bosti Jaboli Time Ahishe,” by presenting him with a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of his cultural contribution and growing influence in Naga music.

Congratulating the young artist, the students’ union extended its best wishes for his future endeavours and expressed hope that his creative journey would inspire a new generation of Naga musicians to embrace their language, roots, and identity through art.

Released on November 8, 2025, “Bosti Jaboli Time Ahishe”—produced under the name Zuz Beat—quickly gained widespread popularity across social media platforms. Sung in a blend of Nagamese and Yimkhiung, the song captures a deeply emotional longing to return to one’s village, a sentiment that resonates strongly during the festive Christmas season.

The track’s simple yet evocative narrative about home, belonging, and cultural memory struck a chord with listeners not only in Nagaland but also among the Naga diaspora across India and abroad. Its rapid rise turned it into one of the most shared and discussed regional songs of the year.

By seamlessly blending contemporary musical elements with traditional emotions, Sulim Yimkhiung has crafted an anthem that celebrates Naga identity while remaining accessible to a global audience. Music observers and listeners alike have praised the song for bringing village life and cultural nostalgia into modern soundscapes without losing authenticity.

As “Bosti Jaboli Time Ahishe” continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, Sulim Yimkhiung’s work stands as a testament to the power of regional music in preserving heritage, strengthening cultural pride, and connecting communities across borders.
