Your live singer in Manipur

Manipur’s central valley is ringed by hills and holds Loktak, the largest freshwater lake in the Northeast, with its floating islands called phumdis. The state’s Meitei, Naga and Kuki communities each have distinct traditions, and Manipuri dance, the Raslila of Vaishnav devotion, is one of India’s eight classical forms.

Music is part of daily life. Pena, a bowed instrument, accompanies traditional songs, and the Meitei community sings Khunung Eshei folk songs. Yaoshang, the spring festival, is celebrated with dance and colours, and the Sangai Festival in November showcases the state’s culture.

Events follow local advice on travel and conditions, which the organiser keeps under review. A set of Hindi film songs, Sufi and gentle melodies suits the audience.

The year in Manipur

Yaoshang in March, the Sangai Festival in November and Christmas in December are the cultural high points. Lai Haraoba, a ritual festival, is held in spring. The monsoon is heavy.

What Manipur hosts expect

The people are courteous, artistic and proud of their heritage. Performers respect customs and the host’s advice.

A set list for Manipur

Manipuri families love a good melody. Hindi romantic classics, a Manipuri film song requested by the host and a few English favourites make up a flexible set. Sangai Festival stages favour traditional music, and the singer is invited to share the stage with local artists.
