From Wikipedia
The music of Mizoram encompasses the folk, sacred, and popular musical traditions of the Mizo people of northeast India. Traditional Mizo music is primarily vocal, accompanied by drums, gongs, bamboo wind instruments, and other percussion. Music is deeply embedded in Mizo social life; a well-known Mizo saying, Khuang lova chai ang ("a festival without a drum"), conveys that life without music is incomplete. Scholars of Tibeto-Burman cultures have characterised the Mizo as a people who in all they do, think, or believe, mark their experience in song, and with the introduction of literacy many oral compositions survive today as the earliest known examples of Mizo poetry.
