A Land Of Folklore Produces Yet Another Gem: “National Anthem Guitarist”

The state of Nagaland was formally inaugurated on December 1^st, 1963, as the 16^th state of the Indian Union. It is bounded by Assam in the West, Myanmar (Burma) on the east, Arunachal Pradesh and part of Assam on the North and Manipur in the South.

The State consists of 16 (Sixteen) Administrative Districts, inhabited by 17 major tribes along with other sub-tribes. Each tribe is distinct in character from the other in terms of customs, language and dress.

It is a land of folklore passed down the generations through word of mouth. Here, music is an integral part of life; folk songs eulogising ancestors, the brave deeds of warriors and traditional heroes; poetic love songs immortalising ancient tragic love stories; Gospel songs that touch your soul (should you have a religious bend of mind) or the modern tunes rendered exquisitely to set your feet a-tapping.

Nagaland has a population of 1,980,602 as per the 2011 Census of India.

Now for the first time Imnainla Jamir from Mokokchung was performing at Nagaland’s Hornbill Festival 2022 during which she played The National Anthem of India on an Electronic Guitar.
