SHILLONG: ‘Flavours of Mei – Ramew’ is one of the first series of pre-events of the Indigenous Terra Madre 2015 to be held in the city on Tuesday, which endeavours to brings together the key planners of the event in the host city of Shillong to highlight the network of knowledge sharing, promotion and collaboration.
The evening will bring into the spotlight two key aspects of the event that brings the communities together – food and music. The programme will see the unveiling of the ITM 2015 theme song composed by various musicians from Meghalaya.
Chief Minister Mukul Sangma will attend the event and release the ITM 2015 theme song.
The music unveiling will be followed by the presentation by the NESFAS Cooks Alliance which will be literally the first tasting of the ITM 2015 indigenous menus. It will share the flavours and tastes developed by the rural and urban cooks to mark a remarkable fusion for the audiences comprising government heads, NESAFS, and others.
These tastes have been developed through this unique alliance and have been worked upon in the Mei- Ramew Café in the villages of Meghalaya. Ms. Plantina from Khweng, Ri Bhoi District, Meghalaya, will become the voice of the 15 cooks who have been preparing the menu.
