A festival showcasing the varied music and dances of North Eastern India will be organised here beginning tomorrow seeking to promote the rich folk culture of the region. Titled "Amazing North-East...Paradise Unexplored," the festival organised by city based NGO, Life of Vision Foundation, will see over 22 artistes from the region performing the local songs and dances of the seven sisters."This is to give artistes from the region a platform to showcase their art and offer these dying art-forms more visibility. "We want to promote them because they come from families where their art is their only profession. So, if we do not support them, they will not be able to pass it on to the next generation," says Sumita Basu, founder of the NGO. The evening will begin with a musical performance by a choir from Manipur and Mizoran and will be taken forward by a group of Bihu dancers and drummers from Assam.
