Q. What are the highlights of your latest production, Rhythm Divine II?
A. It begins on a gentle note, reflective of ordinary life as it is lived in the North-East, with a gradual build-up to the sense of insecurity and fear against which many people in the region conduct their existence. The build up to the crescendo is gradual and powerful, with drums coming into play.
