Event Description

“Lamkoi Wari Liba” means a travelling storyteller — one who moves with songs and stories, carrying the spirit of connection from place to place. This tour is inspired by the Peña Aseiba —the traditional Pena balladeers of Manipur, who once wandered from village to village, sharing stories, songs and ancient wisdom, like wandering minstrels of the land. 

In the same spirit, this journey is about travel and encounter — meeting people across different cultures and landscapes, sharing stories, songs, and silences,and listening to each other with open hearts. It’s a simple way to connect —through music, conversation, and presence. To learn from one another, to celebrate our differences, and to find, in the end, what makes us all human.
