Event Description : "Songs of the Blue Hills" Film Screening followed by a discussion

Like ethnic communities the world over, folk music and dances form the core of Naga culture, but what makes it even more important ethnographically is the fact that the Naga folk traditions also comprise of oral history keeping. At the turn of the 20th century, the early Western missionaries opposed singing of folk songs as they were perceived to be associated primarily with spirit worship. The film showcases the efforts at preserving these traditional folk songs and follows its synthesis with contemporary forms of Naga folk music today
