Raipur, October 27
The tribal instruments playing in perfect symphony, artists clad in precious traditional attire will showcase India’s rich Adivasi culture in Chhattisgarh from Thursday.
If one lives and breathes traditional tribal musical instruments, but seeks something with a unique sound, then the instruments on display might just make one’s day. Some of these are so rare.
The stage is all set for the mega event; the three-day National Tribal Dance Festival that Chhattisgarh will host from October 28. Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren will inaugurate the event at Science College Ground. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel will preside over the function scheduled to begin at 11 am.
The roaring crowds and tribal troupes will spread an infectious cheer through the Chhattisgarh capital that will host over 1500 participants from over 29 states and union territories besides seven countries, showcasing traditional dance forms through music and drama over the course of the three days.
The festival will showcase not only Indian dance performances but international ones as well. Artists from Sri Lanka, Maldives, Uzbekistan, Swaziland, Uganda, Nigeria and Palestine will perform in the National Tribal Dance Festival.
This is the second Tribal Festival that started in 2019 in the tribal-dominated state that has 42 scheduled tribes constituting 30 per cent of the population. The performance of the artists had mesmerized the audience in the last event held in the same venue.
