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.

Houghton is an American songwriter and producer who blends gospel, soul, and contemporary worship music. He has toured with New Breed for over twenty years. The group is famous for its multicultural sound. Meghalaya’s Church influence continues to shape the local culture. The stadium crowd turned into a massive choir. "The entire stadium came alive in worship as thousands joined together in one voice," Sangma said.
