00:00With us today, I was asking some time ago, what is this Gilithri Dreams?
00:09I googled it but I really don't know the meaning.
00:12These are girls who put my part of the country, which is North-East India on the national map.
00:18They are from Arunachal Pradesh but this is a special thing with them.
00:23I am very happy to have them and I am so happy to be also moderating this session because this
00:29is very special.
00:30Like I said, they are from my part of the world, of the country.
00:33And what I will tell you about Gilithri Dreams.
00:36First, they started with Eita Nagar, but now that they are singing, they are in our national playlists.
00:45We will perform them, but we will also do a little bit with Gilithri Dreams.
00:49Tell me about this, as I said before, that the songs are now in the national playlists.
00:56People know how it feels in Delhi today and how it feels in India today and how it feels.
01:02Tell me.
01:05First of all, we feel very good today.
01:15I am feeling so grateful to be here and also thank you India today for having us today here.
01:25What do you have to wear? Tell me about this.
01:28We are all local dresses.
01:31But not traditional ones.
01:34Because we will not wear our traditional ones.
01:37But these are the trees.
01:40We have to make our traditional ones.
01:42And these are the ornaments are also local.
01:44We wear them all in the Nishi tribe.
01:46We wear them all.
01:48And this is called Jumhang.
01:50And this is called Jumhang.
01:52And this is called Jumhang.
01:52And this is called Kauj.
01:53As you wear them, it is called Kauj.
01:56I would like to ask you, first of all, when there was a statement about the 39th,
02:00people don't even know where it is.
02:02What is the capital of which state is?
02:04How does it feel when you see that people are getting to know?
02:08Especially because of the music, the 39th is very good.
02:13Tell me.
02:14Tell me.
02:16Yes.
02:17You.
02:18Yes.
02:19First of all, I don't know much about the notice.
02:22Especially about the notice.
02:23Because nowadays, we are getting to know more about the notice.
02:27Because of the internet.
02:29Before we don't know more about the notice.
02:31But because of the internet, we have noticed that the mainland is getting to know.
02:35And we are feeling so grateful and blessed.
02:38Through the internet, we are getting to know more about the culture, music, and everything.
02:46I would like to ask you through the internet.
02:49But how difficult it is to survive a girl band today?
02:53There are a lot of algorithms and Instagram.
02:57What do you think? How difficult it is to survive a girl band from 39?
03:02For us, it's not about that you are a single person or a group.
03:08You have to keep consistency and hard work.
03:11Even if you keep consistency, that will never be successful.
03:26It's not only about the algorithm or the trending.
03:29Because we are true artists.
03:32It doesn't matter who is in the trending.
03:35Because the trendings always change.
03:38But for the love for the music,
03:41it will never be finished.
03:43Until we know, until we live,
03:45we will make music.
03:46Whether we go ahead or go ahead,
03:48or go ahead or go ahead,
03:49or go ahead or go ahead,
03:49or go ahead.
03:51We will always make songs together.
03:55You said somewhere,
03:57I saw that the trolls are the most inspiring you.
04:01Why?
04:02And how do you trolling?
04:05Something like,
04:06uh,
04:06uh,
04:06something like,
04:06uh,
04:06uh,
04:07like,
04:08Actually,
04:09uh,
04:09new hain.
04:10Because,
04:11uh,
04:11uh,
04:12the folk dance,
04:13uh,
04:14new hain.
04:17uh,
04:17uh,
04:18So, they accept, they are doing it slowly, but not that exactly they have to open up for anything.
04:24So, like, they troll, trying to be a Blackpink, trying to be a Miso Blackpink, something like that.
04:32And even body shaming, and even pronunciation in Hindi too.
04:40So, that's the pronunciation of all these trolls, trying to be a Sela.
04:44Yes, absolutely. There are your songs, as I said before. I'm still doing the groove, and now you will also
04:50do the groove.
04:51So, can I please request for their songs, the popular songs that have broken internet records, and can we see
04:57you all groove and perform for all of us?
04:59Yeah, for sure.
05:00Yes, also, let's start.
05:02Yes, yes, please.
05:10Hey, yo! Make some noise for the Gili Di Gremes. Here we go.

07:19Everybody

07:36Thank you. Thank you so much.
07:39This is also another number. We will not know you so easily.
07:42If we can play another number, we will also play another number.
07:50Let's wait for that till the time the music starts.
07:54What was the very good performance?
07:55Everyone tell us what is happening in 39's?
07:58People are jamming on the streets.
08:01Music is in the blood of the people of the North East,
08:04people who live in the North East part of the country, isn't it?
08:07How is it happening?
08:08Everyone tell us that there is a very different type of experience.
08:11Can you repeat the question?
08:12Yes, my question was that people in the North East part of India just love music, isn't it?
08:19Music is in their veins, isn't it?
08:21Tell us how is it happening in 39's?
08:23Only in Arunachal meaning, all of our states are in 39's.
08:27Absolutely.
08:37But I know and we know that we have been learning the culture of music and dance.
08:45We have been learning the culture of music and dance.
08:48We have been learning the culture of music and dance.
08:51And now we have been learning the culture of music and dance.
08:57I feel like we have noticed a lot of music.
09:02Like Rito and Riba are being represented.
09:05People are representing a new music.
09:08Something like that.
09:10What do you call that?
09:12Something unique.
09:13Unique voice.
09:14Because I am also talking about tribal dhune.
09:18So, in your music, there is also a very tribal dhune.
09:21This was the song.
09:22Which language is in the language, if you all know?
09:24This is Nishi from Arunachal Pradesh.
09:29We are mixing English and Hindi pop music.
09:32We have mixed music and stuff.
09:34The other one is asking.
09:35The Black of Kpop.
09:39The Kpop, the Kpop is very much inspired by our audience.
09:43There are alsoady people that we have also copied them.
09:43What do you call?
09:46We mean when our Kpop is very popular.
09:47Do you call us?
09:50Do you call us when we callent in person?
09:53What do you call us?
09:53The Kpop is very popular.
09:54They call us.
09:56What we call an Arapumuz divided by the Frenrenzy.
09:59So, basically, we call us like the Kpop culture.
10:02and we mix it with the western songs.
10:08Today, we will make a group.
10:11The main tip is that, nowadays,
10:15over-modernizing people are speaking in Hindi, English,
10:18or their mother tongue.
10:20Mother tongue is forgotten?
10:22Yes, they are forgotten.
10:24So, you want to play mother tongue alive?
10:26Yes, through music.
10:28Through music.
10:28Yes.
10:58To be honest,
10:59we are playing this video.
11:03It was such an incident,
11:06which didn't feel good for us all,
11:08when we saw this incident in Delhi,
11:11this incident was not before.
11:14Because there have been so many instances
11:15where people are stereotyped,
11:17for the way we look, for the way,
11:19for what we eat, for what we wear,
11:22and that is just so not fair.
11:25To be honest,
11:28I feel bad.
11:30I feel bad.
11:31I feel bad.
11:32We also think,
11:32what can we do,
11:33that the Arab notice,
11:36that we accept as an Indian,
11:39that we are not a foreigner.
11:44It doesn't mean we are not an Indian.
11:46We are a part of an Indian,
11:47and it is a very important part of India.
11:50That's right.
11:50So,
11:51and,
11:53and recently,
11:55and recently,
11:58my friend,
11:58he was talking that,
12:02he was talking that,
12:16we are not a foreigner.
12:17my opinion was that,
12:20let's see,
12:22let's see,
12:23let's see,
12:23let's see,
12:24let's see,
12:24let's see,
12:25let's see,
12:26let's see,
12:27let's see,
12:38let's see,
12:40talk,
12:41that we are a part of India,
12:41queues,
12:41that we are a part of India.
12:43that people,
12:45and then,
12:47what do you think,
12:48that people,
12:49that people,
12:50I said that in the Reels, the other people also have resistance, but they react more than 30s.
12:57So in that moment, my opinion was that then,
13:01the Bahari people, like Delhi people, the water, the water, the water, the water,
13:07and then I also know that India is different.
13:12Then people are different from India, so they are not different from resistance,
13:16so they are just talking about their own rules.
13:27I think there should be one language and that should be the language of music.
13:32All right, so let's get the other track up.
