Giving details about the idea of organizing the concert, Meru said, “Actually we have been for quite sometimes reading and seeing on TV the calamities in Kerala which is really beyond any imagination. We, being a music society and proximity with all the musicians, thought why not we musicians in Nagaland get together and do something for our brothers and sisters in Kerala. Thankfully, a very good team and very responsive musicians all of them came forward without charging any fees.”

Meru said the amount collected from the concert will go to the relief fund for Keral flood victims. “Whatever we get from the concert, we will be sending it for Kerala flood victims,” he added.
