"This album “Ema gi Wari”is dedicated to all the Manipuris I was fortunate to meet during my visit to Assam and Bangladesh in early 2018. The many conversations that i had with them and their stories have culminated in this album. The songs were written and composed partly during my travel. The album looks at Manipur beyond the geographical boundaries. IT opens with the song “Awa-na Landarakpa”. This song is about the Burmese invasion in 1819 that led to the period known as the Seven Years Devastation in the history of Manipur. The album talks about the subsequent displacement, migration, settlement, struggles and lives of Manipuris in the Barak and Surma Valleys. The album can be considered as a concept album in the ways the songs are connected following a trajectory or timeline. I am very thankful to India Foundation for the Arts, Bangalore, for the grant, as well as support and encouragement that has enabled me to travel and create this album. I am also very thankful to the members of my band Imphal Talkies & The Howlers for their help in arranging the songs." - Akhu Chingangbam
