John H Ruolngul, India’s Consul General in Hamburg, also expressing his optimism said “It’s a pleasure to welcome Summer Salt, a band from Shillong, Meghalaya. I thank Meghalaya’s Chief Minister, Conrad Sangma, for sending an excellent band from the northeast. Not only will the band perform at the event, but it will also perform at a special promotion event on November 11. Following that, on November 17, they will perform at Hard Rock Café in Hamburg”.
