Thousands of people gathered at the P A Sangma Integrated Sports Complex in Tura on November 9 for a live praise and worship concert featuring seven-time Grammy Award-winning gospel musician Israel Houghton and his band, New Breed.
Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma shared details of the event on November 10, describing it as an evening that brought thousands together in collective worship.
“The entire stadium came alive in worship as thousands joined together in one voice,” Sangma said, calling the concert a memorable experience.
The event also reflected Meghalaya’s longstanding association with music and the influence of the Church in nurturing the state’s musical culture.
Houghton, an American contemporary Christian singer, songwriter, producer and worship leader, is known for blending gospel, soul and contemporary worship music. He has performed with New Breed for more than two decades, building an international following through gospel albums and live shows. The group is recognised for its multicultural approach to worship music and collaborations across musical traditions.
