ITANAGAR, Oct 24: Takar Nabam from Arunachal became the first artist from the state to ever perform in the United States.
"No one had ever heard about Arunachal Pradesh. I told them it borders China, Myanmar, Bhutan. They were quite surprised to hear about such a place and the lengthy journey I took. Honestly, I was quite nervous to perform there, but the American audience was very receptive, it didn't take me long to adjust and do what I do", said Nabam.
Nabam held two solo performances in New York, at Sofar Sounds in Brooklyn and at Rockwood Music Hall in Manhattan, where he enthralled the listeners with his songs, written in Nyishi and in English.
Two of his songs ‘Hello’ and ‘Receding’ are regulars on the English Music Channel, VH1.
Takar's debut Nyishi single, 'Nyokum Sokhi To' was well received by the American audience. He plans to release another Nyishi single and a few other English songs in the months to come. DIPR
