Punjab music festival in Delhi
New
Delhi: Central Tourism and Culture Minister Ambika
Soni has inaugurated the three-day cultural and musical
festival of Punjab at the Indira Gandhi National Centre
for the Arts (IGNCA) in Delhi. She said, "I am so
proud that IGNCA and the Punjab Academy have brought
this function for the people of Delhi. Its feature
is the rich cultural heritage. I saw paintings and
phulkaris (embroidery). These are beautiful. The musical
instruments are rare." The event showcases cultural
nuggets of Punjab's rural heartland. Though the farm-rich
State has emerged as the frontrunner in hip-hop, but
traditional music and cultural events still strike
close chord in the State. The festival aims to provide
an insight into the State's spiritual and musical
heritage. The show has been put up jointly by the
IGNCA and the Punjabi Academy.
