Rock Music Manipur Vol. 1
release review
Imphal, 9th of March, 2012
by Lukhendro Keisham
With the recently declared 10th Manipur Assembly Election's results and the political transition underway the Yaoshang Kumhei greets the people of Manipur with a five days vacation. On the 9th of March, 2012 Rock Music Manipur, a community of rock music enthusiast from the state held a release ceremony of it's first ever compilation album to the people of Manipur as a gift to the colorful Yaoshang festival.
The releasing ceremony was held at YPO Yaiskul with a formal speech by Guru Rewben Mashangva and Vivek Sharma along with various personalities from the rock community of Manipur. After a short but graceful ceremony the much anticipated CD compilation was finally out.
The compilation has 37 original tracks from 25 bands and individuals of Manipur including 2 bonus tracks from Phynyx and Post Mark, two most renown rock figures of the state.
After the release the RMM MANIPUR TEAM set out for a distribution campaign of the compilation to various localities at Imphal where Yaoshang Sport Meets were held. It was truely an overwhelming response from individuals, clubs and organizations while conveying the message to the youth and individuals present at the venues.
Interpreting the launch as a remarkable achievement the RMM plans to make this initiative big in its next edition, Rock Music Manipur Vol. 2.
Credit goes to all the bands (featured or non featured), fans and those associated who came forward and shared their willingness to make the initiative rewardingly successful. This humble gift from RMM to the people of Manipur will sure slice a deep impact to the social and cultural trend of the state.
**After the distribution campaign to various leikais (localities) the event crew set down for a light refreshment at a first food cafe. It was dark as the team breaks up at the end of the day.
