Dimapur, June 21 (EMN): World Music Day aka Fête de la Musique(Make Music) -the day when the world celebrates a day of open music, where musicians-both professionals and amateurs are encouraged to perform their music was felt in Dimapur as music lovers converged at the State Stadium in Dimapur on Wednesday evening.
Though the curtains for the World Music Day celebration in Dimapur was raised only after an hour's delay, music lovers patiently stayed put enthusiastically that included parents with their toddlers and also those parents who accompanied their children.
The noble endeavour of the organisers- Sky Entertainment, The Institute for Music Education and Crescendo Events in putting up the event- targeted the event for the benefit of the under privileged children who have profound inclination towards music but are unable to afford music schools or receive formal music trainings. It was significant that this year’s World Music Day will have an enduring productive result for these children.
Deputy Chairman, State Planning Board, Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu gracing the World Music Day celebrations at Dimapur as the chief guest confided that the organisers had approached quite a few of the state’s legislators to grace the event, however it was received with unenthusiastic response. Thus, as a state representative and music enthusiast, the legislator conveyed he is here tonight on behalf of the state legislators to encourage artists so that through music the community can contribute for a better society.
Dimapur being home to a range of artistic individuals, 22 musicians-Khochamo Kikon, Samuel Lotha, Muno Shiu, Naro Sangtam, Moatangit Jamir, Meribeni Patton, Nagaland Conservatory, Thunglamo Ngullie, Jano Nyekha, Waluniba Lemtur, Mountain Music, Hope Center, Vinika (Soloist workstation), Alobo Naga & DJ Amar, Gluttones, Meribeni & DJ Sumika, Demon Arch, Brainstorm Island, Abel Sumi, Aria, Near In House and Yellow Beacon enlivened the evening with a variety of music echoing through beautiful vocal displays, the pluck of guitars, mix of traditional tunes, global music, Bollywood tunes and country music.
The organisers made sure the city folk was left with a positive energy on a day dedicated to Music.
The Gear sponsors for the event were: Sound system, staging, trussing and barricade by Crescendo, Lighting by Shiu Lights, Led Wall by Encore, Generator by A.J. Power and Outdoor lighting by Action Powerline. The organisers also informed that any music schools willing to sponsor talented underprivileged students for music class for a year can contact the organisers.
