Woman in ethnic attire stuns with Bob Dylan's ‘Everything is broken' at Shillong brewery. Internet declares: ‘Stage is her comfort zone'
At a bustling brewery in Shillong, something extraordinary happened that the internet isn't ready to forget anytime soon. Amid the dim lights, clinking glasses, and laid-back vibes of The Yeastern Civilization—a popular brewery in Meghalaya's capital—a voice cut through the air with a powerful resonance. Dressed in traditional attire and channeling raw emotion, Chalthanzawna Fanu , known by her Instagram handle @chali_evenflow, delivered a soul-stirring rendition of Bob Dylan's Everything Is Broken , and the world took notice.
The performance didn't just stop at being good—it hit that rare sweet spot of authenticity and energy that turns ordinary moments into viral sensations. As videos of the performance began circulating online, netizens flooded the internet with praise, calling it 'real Blues Pipes' and comparing Fanu's vocal prowess to legendary singers like Koko Taylor. But what truly struck a chord was not just her voice, but her proud presence on stage—singing a Western classic while dressed in her traditional Mizo attire, weaving together culture, confidence, and charisma into a performance that felt both global and rooted.
According to her Instagram bio, Fanu is a member of the Evenflow Band from Aizawl, Mizoram. Specialising in Blues, the band brings a unique northeastern flavour to the genre, which often evokes stories of hardship, grit, and soul-searching—something Fanu captured effortlessly in her performance. In a region known for its rich musical heritage and deep love for live gigs, the scene at the brewery was electric. Her voice, filled with texture and passion, transformed the room. What began as an evening performance soon turned into an internet event, with the video going viral across platforms.
Social media exploded with comments celebrating not just her talent, but also the message her presence conveyed. 'So good! And so much talent out there in the North East,' one user wrote. Another added, 'What makes me feel more proud is she wore her pride, her culture ❤️.'
Others were simply struck by her vocal strength. 'The stage is her comfort zone,' one fan commented, while another wrote, 'Now these are the real Blues Pipes.' One listener summed it up perfectly: 'By listening to her sing, I got an adrenaline rush in my blood veins.' In a digital world often saturated with over-produced performances and viral trends manufactured for attention, Fanu's moment stood out for its unfiltered emotion and the striking harmony between tradition and modernity. It's not every day that a performance at a local brewery transcends into a cultural statement. But when it does, it's worth celebrating.
