Achatnis Dichongta is a fourth-year student at the Margaret Shishak School of Music, Patkai Christian College in India. At the inaugural programme of the 4th Patkai Badminton Open Tournament, she performed “With All My Heart,” an Amira Willighagen cover from her 2018 album by the same name. It is reported that her perfomance captivated the audience. Yet there is almost no publicity about Dichongta that I can find. So I am creating this post partly in hopes of search engines capturing the information. The language is Liangmai.
The Liangmai people are a Tibeto-Burmese ethnic group and one of the Naga tribes primarily inhabiting the Tamenglong, Senapati, and Kangpokpi districts of Manipur, and the Peren district of Nagaland in Northeast India. They share a similar culture and language (Lianglad/Liangmai) with the Zeme and Rongmei tribes. The tribe, numbering around 50,000 to 80,000, has a rich, traditionally oral culture and is largely Christian.
