do you want to do this just for kicks or is this a commercial venture. it needs a lot of financial backing to "preserve the musical heritage" of 8 states.

well, I'm an audio engineer/musician based in Delhi and what i plan is to travel across the whole northeastern region with my mobile recording set up and record all the folk instruments and music and later can make a database..i'm gettting a lil help from a funding agency...this is what i plan www.rhythmofnortheast.com ..and i'm actually looking forward to hearing from travellers in the region who would like to help me with this project and be a part of it..

Is this primarily folk music or more contemporary youth driven content that you will be focusing on?

well,PEAK VX,its purely folk music..the goal is to create a database of all the folk instruments of the various tribes of the region along with sound samples..and also to create awareness targeting the youth on the need of preserving the rich musical heritage of the region..

I think India Today's "Music Today" label has a fabulous collection of folk and traditional music from all over India already, that could certainly do with expanding. Not to discourage you or to suggest that the more voices wouldn't be the merrier, but maybe you could have a word with them, perhaps you could find some common grounds: http://www.music-today.com/

I'm curious to know what you mean by the "eighth" state btw. Sikkim, perhaps?
