Notes from Ground Ziro

The last decade has seen some talented global artists play at the festival such as Prateek Kuhad, Peter Cat Recording Company, Lee Ranaldo, Acid Mothers Temple, Rabbi Shergill and Steve Shelley among others. This year, the stars of the Ziro galaxy were Mumbai’s hip-hop artist MC Altaf, Arunachali singer-songwriter Taba Chake, Nagaland’s folktronica/folk wave band Run Monday Run, Grammy Award-winner Pt Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Australian indie-rock band Mannequin Death Squad and Eliasse from France: the cliché that there is something for everyone rang true at Ziro.
