Film by Elefant
At the age of 76 & 74 respectively, Epa Roiliana & Epa Lallura are the oldest of the #Biate elders who have come on this emotional journey of working towards preserving , showcasing their music and songs.
In the recording studio, they adapted quickly and enjoyed the sessions.
Conversations with villagers and elders from Jahai & Lungphunphai villages about dying Biate culture & what measures can be taken to keep it from fading away entirely with elders.
