Imphal, November 13 2010:
An experimental music concert on the theme 'unity amongst the people of Manipur' will be organised on December 4 at NCC ground, Thangmeiband.
In addition to promoting the fraternal ties that existed between the hill people and valley since time immemorial, the music concert would also attempt to demonstrate differences in notes and beats between modern musical instruments and traditional musical instruments used in the hills and valley of Manipur.
Speaking to media persons at the office of Yelhoungei Apunba Shaktam at Nongmeibung this morning, Sori Senjam said that singers belonging to different communities like Tangkhul, Kuki, Anal, Kom, Kabui etc would participate in the music concert.
A group song composed anew in different dialects will also be presented by different artistes at the concert.
Fund earned from the music concert would be used in setting up a music academy where interested scholars may document compositions and other features of Manipuri music of olden times, Sori Senjam said.
