They come from Nepal, they have Nepali families, they make records and concerts in Nepal, and they are loved in Nepal. 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. With “Aaina Jhyaal”, it seems like Nepathya is back in form. A collection of 10 numbers, what makes “Aaina Jhyal” a must-buy is that after quite sometime, this 9th volume by Nepathya reminds you of those original flavors of the group that presented in its yesteryears’ box office thrillers like “Nepathya” and “Bhedako Oonjasto.” With the band’s lineup changing now and then over its two-decade journey, Nepathya certainly had to go through various hurdles to maintain the branding of the band.
“Aaina Jhyal” is a beautiful treat to the ears, with some of the finest compositions backed up by power-packed words, and performed by a household powerful voice. 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. Prince Charles, who will represent Queen Elizabeth II at the opening ceremony, will formally announce the Commonwealth Games in Delhi to be open, jointly with the President of India, Pratibha Patil. The games will be the largest multi-sport event conducted to date in India. The 2010 Commonwealth Games are scheduled to be held in New Delhi, India, from October 3 to 14. One of the most celebrated folk instrumental ensembles of recent times, the group of six professionals from Kathmandu will be taking their sounds to a world audience and sharing the spotlight with some of the biggest names in Indian and international mus ic scene. As we all know that Kutumba is on of the Nepali musical band which is contributing a lot in preserving and promoting Nepali Traditional Music.Kutumba has confirmed that they will be performing in the Commonwealth Games in India, October 10 and 11.
