about

"DIA DE MUERTOS" is a celebration of the DAY OF THE DEAD - the beloved tradition of Mexico and an homage to the 855 brave, young departed souls of the Assam agitation (1979-1985) led by students.... those tumultuous 6 years followed by decades of political upheavals back home in Assam and Northeast India.

This EP though is not about the politics of the Assam agitation or the state violence unleashed on the students or the subsequent scarring of an entire generation. It is only and only about fondly remembering the 855 departed young souls from Assam and feeling their presence amongst us. The same way just like our Mexican brothers and sisters fondly remember their departed near and dear ones during the DAY OF THE DEAD - where mourning is considered disrespectful.

"DIA DE MUERTOS" is a charity release and all proceeds will go the Lynti Khasi School of Umsawwar – a small remote village of farmers & shepherds located in Meghalaya, Northeast India- to help better its infrastructure. The Lynti Khasi School, with its bare basic facilities, is trying really hard not only to educate the children of Umsawwar but to also strike a balance between education & the centuries old traditional livelihood of the community where the children help their parents in the daily chores of rearing and farming.
