Speaking on the occasion, Dr Ratan Thiyam said that there are different variations of music in the North East.
However, these different forms of music have never been exposed to the outside world.
So, we all need to come together and expand the various forms of music in different parts of the world.
He further said that now in the state we have a number of good music composers, instrumentalists and singers.
Even though these musicians and singers are highly talented, they seldom get the opportunity to expose their talents to the outside world.
