Welcome to the official website of the University of Oxford Expedition to North Eastern India, approved and supported by the Royal Geographical Society.
Between July and August, our team of four spent one month in Arunachal Pradesh making professional recordings of the traditional music of the Monpa tribe. Our aim was to document aspects of this beautiful and rapidly changing culture, thereby making it accessible and available to academic researchers and also to anybody seeking an insight into this fascinating culture, including ethnic Monpas, both now and in the future.
Read on to find out about who we are, what we did, why we did it, and what will be done with our archive of recordings.
