Speaking on the occasion, President of Hueiyen Lanpao Columnists' Forum B Jayentakumar Sharma said that Moirangshai is a popular folk music of the State, which according to some books, originated sometime after the Second World War.
Cultural experts and scholars should better discuss on the genesis of this popular folk music.
Jayentakumar further said that Manipur is a strange land where bloodshed and violence overshadow the rich art and culture of the State.
People should try to have peace of mind amidst such anarchic situation by listening to soulful music as that of Moirangshai, he added.
During the interactive session that followed the performance, some scholars opined that Moirangshai had evolved and taken its name from the classical "Manoharshai" while others assume Moirangshai to be a pure folk music of the State associated with the legends of Moirang.
Members of Hueiyen Lanpao Columnists' Forum and other eminent litterateurs of the State attended the programme.
