[Dinga_Detta_Chhangte]

Every time I watch this Indian music performed by amazing musicians from different cultures and countries at Berkeley college of music, I use to get chills and tears in my eyes...Love from Mizoram ❤️

[KaushikSarkarVer..]

This must be the coolest bunch of youngsters i’m seeing.
I may be wrong ( or a hopeless romantic) in thinking that here is a generation that has sloughed off the dead weight of the past, of prejudices like race, skin, body shape or ideas of beauty and have come together to move to the groove, and to celebrate music and humanity.
Bravo !!!!

[denver]
