SHILLONG: In a lively fusion of music and advocacy, the Lariti Centre for Performing Arts in Mawkasiang, is set to host the Red Fest – the North East Multimedia Campaign (NEMMC) on February 28.

Under the theme of “North East United Against HIV/AIDS”, the event promises to be more than just a musical extravaganza – it’s a rallying cry for unity and awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

With over 2500 participants slated to attend, including esteemed officials from various state departments, youth leaders, community members, and representatives from development partners and civil society organisations, the Red Fest is poised to be a significant moment in Meghalaya’s campaign against the epidemic.

The event will be graced by the esteemed presence of Dr Joram Beda, Commissioner & Secretary, and Dr Anoop Kr. Puri, Deputy Director General of the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), adding a touch of gravitas to the occasion.

What truly sets the Red Fest apart is its stellar lineup of bands and artistes, each representing the rich tapestry of Northeastern culture.

From the soulful melodies of Lenzing Domingo & Band from Arunachal Pradesh to the infectious rhythms of Chali and the Band from Mizoram, and from the electrifying performances of Toxic Pony from Meghalaya to the captivating sounds of Girish and the Chronicles from Sikkim, the stage is set to be ablaze with talent and passion.

However, beyond the pulsating beats and mesmerising melodies lies a sobering reality.

The Northeastern states, particularly Mizoram, Nagaland, and Manipur, grapple with some of the highest adult HIV prevalence rates in the country.

Yet, amidst these statistics, Meghalaya stands resilient, with a prevalence rate of 0.39%, a testament to the concerted efforts of organisations like NACO and the Meghalaya AIDS Control Society.

As the stage is set and the spotlight shines on Meghalaya, the Red Fest serves not only as a celebration of music but as a beacon of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
