Nepal’s renowned folk rock musical group Nepathya rocked the thousands of audience at Manhattan Centre of New York on Saturday.
They performed their evergreen numbers including Bhedako oon jasto…, Chhekyo chhekyo…, Chari maryo sisaiko Golile…, Jomsome bazaarma…, Resham…, Taal ko pani…, Salaijo… and others along with their new songs Rama Rama…, Koshiko… and Timi pani Nepali…
The band performed ‘Rato ra chandra surya…’ with the audience singing and the musical night ended and the band left the stage. But, the audience shouted ‘once more’ forcing to perform another song Aganai Bhari…
During the performance, the vocalist Amrit Gurung expressed his love for mother Nepal, “In this race of establishing our ethnic identity, have we ever thought about our national identity being at risk? What I proudly say is – I am a Nepali first and then I am equally proud to be a Gurung.”
He even encouraged Nepalese living abroad not to forget the motherland and continue to contribute to the nation in whatever way they can.
The band would now perform in San Francisco on October 1, coinciding with Ghatasthapana to mark the start of Dashain festival.
