Manipuri balladeer, 89, to perform in Delhi
Times of India | TNN | Jan 29, 2015, 06.56 AM IST
At 89, Manipuri balladeer N Ibemni's bag of stories is literally overflowing. Come Friday, from her treasure trove will emerge Khongjom Parva, a musical narration of the 1891 Anglo-Manipur war fought in Khongjom village. She will sing the annals of the battle at Kathakar, the three-day international storytellers' festival to be held in New Delhi later this week.
Khongjom Parva is about the sacrifice of Manipuri heroes like Major Paona Brajabashi in the 'Battle of Khongjom' against the British troops.
The first day of the festival will be held at the amphitheater of Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, Janpath in the National Capital. A panel discussion on storytelling preservation and techniques would be held, an official statement said.
