Thousands of music lovers from Jalukie and neighbouring villages converged at the Jalukie Town Square to celebrate the “World Music Day”-cum-launching of Zeme Music Association Nagaland (ZMAN) on the evening of June 21.

Further, the president appealed the Zeme artists of Nagaland to get registered with the Zeme Music Association Nagaland (ZMAN) as the association has collaborated with Sound-King Studio Nagaland for a 30% discount on audio recording and production.
Speaking at the event, president of Zeme Council Nagaland, Dr. Tumda Newme, appreciated the organizers for creating a platform for the budding artists to display their talents. He also added that music is a universal language that can bind together every religion, community, and all ages; and in the music industry talent and ability are the only criteria to reach a higher level and the youngsters have talents but lack determination and hard work which prevents them from excelling in the field of music despite their vast talents. Therefore, he has advised the young artists to explore their talents, work hard with commitment and also give their time and energy to become successful musicians.
