It is not possible for anyone to forget the time when radio was considered the only and the most convenient means of entertainment in our region, especially in remote villages. Amidst the hard work and fatigue in the field, the reverberation of songs on the radio especially in our own dialect was the best means of entertainment and refreshment. People used to tune in to the local news and listen to the songs of the local artists, forgetting their worries and troubles, at least for a while.

The relationship between the radio artists and the listeners is very strange and lovely. Even though they have never seen, the radio artist and his audience share a strong bond of love.

Nowadays, we are surrounded by multiple means of entertainment and mediums to showcase our talent. Maybe that is the reason why we have almost forgotten the radio artists who have entertained and inspired us for all these years.

Thus, in order to honor and appreciate their contribution and to remind them that people have not forgotten them, The Oriah Committee, Pongchau came up with this unique way of celebration.
