Music from northeast spreads message of peace in capital

11 September, 2012

Music bring nations together. Musicians from the northeast were trying to do the same in Delhi when they played awesome music to reach to the hearts of the North East people after the recent exodus episode that had created fear in their minds.

'MUSIC DOESN'T lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music' - the famous quote of a legendary musician, Jimi Hendrix rung on one's hear as musicians from North East strum their guitar with their voices waiting to be heard.

A music concert had been organised in Delhi so as to spread message of peace and justice, which was required after the events that unfurled in Bangalore, where thousands of people from North East fled away from Bangalore fearing for their lives.

One of the musicians present in the concert was Alo Wanth from Nagaland. He is well known artist among the North East, if not the entire nation. In this ANI video, he said, “Music is a universal language. I think under music, we do not have any religion or caste etc. It is one of the ways to reach the heart of the people. We love music.”

Northeastern people love their music and it was evident with the number of people that turned up for the event. One such member from the audience, Ashuni said in this video, “Lot of talented musicians are there in the North East. More people should come from the North East to the metros so that more people can see their talent.”

Kaguirong Gonmei, the organiser said, “We started this High pitch productions to promote young talent blooming in Nagaland.” There is no dearth of quality singers in the North East, but for various reasons they are not able to come out of their homeland. Gonmei maintains that there are North Easterns who play in petty concerts, churches etc. But his main objective lies in promoting them and give them a platform to perform.

All music lovers scattered all over the country would like to see many more musicians from the North East rocking the music world. There are two things that comes naturally to people from the North East- to kick a football and strike a guitar chord along with their smooth voices.
