The Naga Christian Fellowship Guwahati (NCFG) is organizing a concert in aid of its ministry at ITA Centre for Performing Arts, Machkhowa, Guwahati on December 2, featuring the band “Divine Connection”.
Divine Connection is a Christian band that experiments with all genres of music. The band is not confined to just the Christian crowd but to every section of the society advocating good clean music with a movement against the society’s challenges like drugs, sex, alcohol and violence etc.
They were formed as Christian rock band on the September 30, 2004 and made its début in dream café Kohima which was sponsored by Life pro. They consist of four members with Obed Kath on the vocals, Aseu in guitar, Yanpo on the drums and Mhathung Odyuo on the bass.
For the first two years, the band was confined to playing locally inside Nagaland only. In December 2006 the band collaborated with Joey Woch on the guitars and Neisakuo Noudi on the keys and participated in the first ever Hornbill National Rock contest and bagged the runner-up prize. Obed was nominated the best vocalist. Soon after, the pair had to leave to pursue their own profession as music teachers. Joey is a full time music teacher in Dimapur and Neisakuo is teaching piano in Delhi.
Right now the band is experimenting with different genre of music. The band has performed in and around the states like, Manipur, Shillong, Delhi and Nongpoh. The band also released its debut album called ‘EL ROI’ in July 2008 consisting of a blend of rock, jazz, funk, NU metal and modern rock.
The objective of the band is to promote positive music, and believe young people can enjoy good music without indulging in sex, drugs, alcohol and violence.
