This beautiful rendition of ‘An Irish Blessing’ will move you.

With the entire nation in lockdown, artists across India have been making use of social media in unimaginable ways. However, a group of musicians from Nagaland have gone far and beyond the usual Instagram Live by launching the ‘Nagaland Virtual Choir Project.’ The project is helmed by Yamaha artiste Nise Meruno. Their first video dropped on YouTube on 29 March and currently has over 18,000 views. The video features almost 18 Naga artists. Their soulful rendition of ‘An Irish Blessing’ is heartwarming. The choir is conducted by Mhonroni Ezung. In the video, she can be seen saying, “This is our first attempt in a project like this so as a conductor I had to totally rely on my imagination.”
