In Mizoram, three-day Leitlangpui Music Festival is underway in south Mizoram’s Lunglei town, bringing together established musicians, emerging bands and local entrepreneurs to showcase the state’s musical heritage and promote tourism. Organised by the Ministry of Tourism and Mizoram Tourism department, the festival began yesterday at Lena Stadium at Serkawn under the theme “Music Comes Home to Serkawn”. The festival seeks to connect that legacy with contemporary musicians and emerging talent.
Addressing the inaugural ceremony, Tourism Minister Lalnghinglova Hmar said music was an inseparable part of Mizoram’s cultural identity and Serkawn held a special place in the state’s musical history. The minister said that the government aimed to take Mizoram’s music and cultural heritage to national and international audiences while creating opportunities for young artists, entrepreneurs and local communities. The festival features performances by established and emerging Mizo musicians.
The second day includes a band competition with 10 finalists from Aizawl, Lunglei, Nagaland and Assam, while winners of the previous two editions, Swordtune and Knot, are also scheduled to perform. The final day will feature performances by several Mizo artists and bands, followed by the minister’s address and a fireworks display.
