New Delhi: The
amphitheatre at the Jamia Millia Islamia Friday evening
came to life with an ensemble of amazing rock music, folk songs
and dances from the northeast.
About 600 students gathered for the annual celebration of culture
and music organised by the university's Centre for North East
Studies.
Welcoming the audience, centre director Sanjoy Hazarika said it is
necessary to acquaint people about the region's rich culture.
He said the event will go a long way in strengthening the bond
between the people of the region and the rest of the country.
The event, organised at the Safdar Hasmi Ampitheatre, was held for
the second consecutive year. The theme was "Music from the
borders".
The programme started with rock music performed by a Delhi-based
group. Bihu and Manipuri folk dances and a cultural show from
Sikkim were also presented. Musical groups from the northeast
Nagaland Singing Ambassadors and Rewben & Saka Mashangva also
regaled the audience.
