Musical Concert for upholding Harmony and Promoting Unity amidst 'Troubled' Diversity
- at Shah Auditorium, Delhi
on 1st September 2012 -
Music knows no boundaries and can cut across class, caste, region and religion and unite against all odds. The sound of music echoes from all parts of India and has certainly been a uniting force for the country. The region outlined by the geo-political terminology of 'North East India' is especially known for its western and rock music which binds the seven sister states together and has also created a niche for North Eastern singers in other parts of the country and abroad.
Today, looking at the present situation which calls for greater harmony and unity among the people at large, music needs to play a greater role. Each one of us needs to be reminded today of the unity in diversity that has bound us since time immemorial. Today, the nation needs to stand with our brothers and sisters from the North East, instill confidence and become a true example of the nation with maximum diversity and greatest unity. And the single most effective source of doing that is through the very medium which is sans borders.
With this as the backdrop, and with a vision to provide a platform for all gifted musicians from India's North East, Hi-Pitch Productions invites one and all to a musical concert by Nagaland's most celebrated singer ALO WANTH.
Date: 1st September 2012
Time: 6.30 pm
Ticket: Rs. 200/-
Venue: Shah Auditorium, Near Civil Lines Metro Station, Delhi
Alo Wanths's third album, released on 23rd August, 2012 includes his song 'Change' which highlights the fact that the real change starts from each one of us. His song 'Justice' echoes the Gandhian values that we must wake and not keep quiet about the injustice around us. Instead, we must speak out boldly.

About the singer – Alo Wanth:
Alo Wanth believes that music is a universal language and can bridge any gap. This concert, on 1st of September in Shah Auditorium Civil Lines Delhi, is thus a display of his brave heart. During the planning of the concert, people from North East warned him about the ongoing crisis. However, he chose to go on in order to show to everyone that there is peace and that the authorities are in control. The underlying message of the concert is therefore that the North East people are safe, wherever they are in the country. Therefore "this is a very important concert for me to show what really my music talks about" says Alo Wanth.
