Shillong: Thousands packed the P A Sangma Integrated Sports Complex in Tura on November 9. They came for a live praise and worship show by seven-time Grammy Award winner Israel Houghton and his band, New Breed. Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma shared news of the massive turnout on November 10. The event proved the deep musical roots in the state.
