About this recording

Title as given by the source: It is through Akhu Chingambam that I got connected with his bandmate Sunil Loitongbam and through Sunil, with the voice of his mother, Sumati Devi. Had Arnold Bake visited Manipur in 1956, he would probably have met Sumati Devi’s gurus, because she was a teenager then. Who knows? Like fifteen-year-old Chitralekha Choudhury in Santiniketan, maybe he would have met and recorded Sumati Devi too with his reel-to-reel recorder?
