Nagaland Holds World Record For The Largest Electric Guitar Ensemble

Did you know that world's largest electric guitar ensemble was held in Nagaland on January 12, 2013? We think it is an awe-inspiring achievement that makes us feel proud!

Listening to good music instantly uplifts our mood and we feel ready to take on the world! Such a passionate emotion is hard to find and this is why we see more and more youngsters developing an interest in learning how to play musical instruments and create something unique. Music serves as an outlet for our thoughts and feelings that builds up within ourselves and exudes the latent creativity in us. Not many are aware of the fact that the Northeast is one of the most musically-active regions in our country and that there is a great percentage of music enthusiasts.

Nagaland just proved this by hosting the largest electric guitar ensemble in the whole world - that is quite an achievement to boast of, don't you think? On January 12 way back in 2013, the Agri-Expo ground at 4th Mile in Dimapur witnessed history in the making with the presence of over 500 music lovers who gathered there to participate in the one-of-a-kind event. Many well-known musicians and renowned names from the Naga society, media, fashion industry, and entertainment arena, had also graced the event with their presence and cooperation.

Prior to the event, the organisers worked hard to supervise the perfect coordination of the participants to the Guns N' Roses' cover of the famous song by Bob Dylan, 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door'. Thousands of supporters and well-wishers had thronged the ground to motivate the ones who were attempting to play their electric guitars in sync with the crowd. This epoch-making record was incredibly successful in establishing a small state like Nagaland as one of the musically-rich societies in not just the country but also across the entire globe!
