All are incredibly successful musicians from a range of different styles, and what they have in common is this country: Nepal. Guys like Robin Tamang, Raju Gurung, Anil Shahi, and Pundit Homnath Upadhyaya. Though the drum overshadows Gurung’s vocals to a certain extent, the rhythmic pattern of the lines are taken care of innovatively to justify the musical trends practiced in south Gorkha A percussion-based composition, this particular track is good at high notes.The drooling of the drums is a little too much in Jogale Hunchha Bhet, the third composition. Sailaijyu, the second track in the volume, picks up beautifully in the chorus. The first track, Palla Gharka Baika Chaandika Kanganaa, makes you understand the lifestyle of the Karnali and Gandaki regions through typical words picked from the communities and sewn with the tunes of madal, tungna and piano. In addition, the compositions are complimented beautifully in the diction of singer Amrit Gurung, who has worked hard on understanding the typical ways of pronunciation of words in different ethnic communities of Nepal. Nepathya has mastered in picking up local folk tunes and melodies in this ensemble that makes the whole album sound rich in a variety of tunes. Often popular for promoting traditional Nepali folk instruments, Nepathya’s “Aaina Jhyaal” beautifully assembles the tunes of folk instruments like madal, sarangi, flute, damphu, and tungna.Īs you start moving from one track to the other, the compositions turn more graphical to you.

But all my wondering and pondering got shooed away as soon as I started listening to their compositions.Certainly, “Aaina Jhyaal” is a better ensemble than “ Mero Desh ” which completely focused on various socio-political conflicts that the nation was going through for a decade.

So we settled for two days,” he added.Īs I headed to the studio of Paleti to listen to Nepathya’s songs from their new album, “ Aaina Jhyaal,” I continuously wondered if it was too early for this celebrated band to release an album, because their “Mero Desh” was released only a few months back. Initially, they had asked us to perform for16 days, but that would have been way too taxing. “It was a pleasant surprise when we got the call from the Indian Embassy. We couldn’t have asked for a better platform than this to take our music to a global audience,” said the man on percussion Pavit Maharjan. “It is such an honor to be able to represent the country. With a mission to preserve, present and promote traditional music, Kutumba wishes to spread Nepali folk music throughout the world.
