4th North East Indigenous Music Festival brought top notch folk fusion bands of the region to Dimapur on October 6 and 7.
As some of the bands couldn’t reach in time, the NE Artistes workshop-cum- interaction scheduled for 6 was postponed to October 7.
The constructive interaction session which started at 10 a.m saw the artistes introducing themselves and sharing their views.
Thus the North East Forum for Folk Fusion Music (NEFFFM) was born with a vision to work together to promote folk fusion music.
Daniel Engty of Jambili was elected as the convener of North East Forum for Folk Fusion Music.
The concert on October 7 started with a welcome speech from Moa Subong, Chairman of Abiogenesis Society.
Guest of honour, Manas Ranjan Mahaparatha, Director (IPR) of North East Council who was accompanied by Satish Sharma, Pay & Accounts officer were gifted shawls while the Director recited two of his poems.
