Taram emphasized the transformative power of music and art in society. “Music can change ideas through its voice. Artists play a vital role in shaping society in artistic ways. In today’s world, music holds immense power,” he said. He highlighted Arunachal Pradesh’s rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted traditional values, calling for professionalization of the art and music industry in the state.
“Artists and cultural practitioners are putting in their best efforts, but they need support. With proper encouragement, music and art can not only preserve our culture but also become a means of livelihood and economic sustainability for artists,” he added. Taram assured continued support for the artist community and reiterated his commitment to the promotion of the state’s art, culture, music, and traditions.
Legendary singer Taba Yall Nabam, who was the guest of honour at the event, expressed happiness at the growing number of artists in the state. “It is encouraging to see so many artists creating video and audio albums.
