Kutumba to Perform in Commonwealth Games in India

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. 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 music scene.

The 2010 Commonwealth Games are scheduled to be held in New Delhi, India, from October 3 to 14. The games will be the largest multi-sport event conducted to date in India. 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.

With a mission to preserve, present and promote traditional music, Kutumba wishes to spread Nepali folk music throughout the world. “It is such an honor to be able to represent the country. 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 was a pleasant surprise when we got the call from the Indian Embassy. Initially, they had asked us to perform for16 days, but that would have been way too taxing. So we settled for two days,” he added.

Aaina Jhyaal: Mirror and window of Nepali folk tunes (Review)

BY K BEDESHWAR

As 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. 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.



“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. 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.

With “Aaina Jhyaal”, it seems like Nepathya is back in form. 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.
As you start moving from one track to the other, the compositions turn more graphical to you. 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. 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.

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. Sailaijyu, the second track in the volume, picks up beautifully in the chorus. 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. 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

Music Education in Nepal

Think of some Nepali musicians. Guys like Robin Tamang, Raju Gurung, Anil Shahi, and Pundit Homnath Upadhyaya. All are incredibly successful musicians from a range of different styles, and what they have in common is this country: Nepal. They come from Nepal, they have Nepali families, they make records and concerts in Nepal, and they are loved in Nepal.



They represent Nepal to the extent that any group of Nepali workers in Spain, Qatar, or Malaysia right now could be eating daal bhat and talking lightly about Pundit Homnath’s rock-steady classical tabla groove, or Anil Shahi’s lightning fast fusion guitar fingers, or Robin Tamang’s impassioned blues vocals. Nepali people can be proud of such musicians and their music
.
But now let’s take a closer look. Where did these musicians learn to play, write, and sing? Where does their music really come from? Nepal? No. Not a single one. Robin Tamang lived and played in Canada for years before launching his successful career in Kathmandu; Raju Gurung earned a degree at Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA; Anil Shahi learned classical Eastern and Western guitar in India and the UK; and Pundit Homnath Upadhyaya learned tabla in Varanasi, India. Ask any one of them about music education in Nepal, and you’ll likely hear a sad story. Here’s part of that sad story, gathered from six months of interviews, observations, and classes in schools around Kathmandu.

The government doesn’t support music education to any practical extent, and music generally isn’t offered at government schools. Not surprisingly – the government is preoccupied with things like constitutions, federal states, and army staff at the moment, so it could be a while before they consider music with any seriousness. Some of the larger private higher secondary schools offer music teaching, depending on if the director or principal wants to or not, but the focus of this teaching seems to be with making adequate Parents’ Day shows—drilling the students by rote for weeks for a ten-minute performance of songs they already know. Principals and parents walk away satisfied, but what do the students actually learn? To sing songs that they already knew. Music? Hardly.

A music curriculum for Nepal is currently being processed by the Ministry of Education, but many principals have no idea about it, much less their overworked and underpaid music teachers, who often teach part-time at five or more different schools per week in order to make enough money to live. Lucky teachers will have a music classroom, some instruments, a reasonable amount of students, and electricity for part of the time – but only if they are lucky. Even if a teacher knows a music curriculum, he probably can’t teach it—there is no program in the country right now that focuses on music teaching skills, and many music teachers are trained as performers and teach only because it’s a job. They have nowhere to go to learn things like lesson planning, rehearsing, music notation, curriculum, classroom management, and performance organization; they have no resources like method books or syllabi; and they are under no accountability at all except to have their students pipe out 10 minutes of rote memorization once per year

Nepathya to Rock Kathmandu After Seoul

Good news for the Nepathya’s fans, after long time they are back to rock Kathmandu after Seoul. According to a nepalaya press statement, the band is ready for a concert in Kathmandu at the Academy Hall on September 28.

The concert in Seoul was a huge success, states the statement and even heavy rainfall did not stop Nepathya fans from reaching the Dong Guk University Auditorium to witness their band perform live in South Korea after five years on September 22. The show coincided to mark Korean thanksgiving holiday – Chuseok.

Along with evergreen numbers like Chekyo Chekyo, Euta Chitthi, Jomsome Bazaar, Resham, Lampate Surati, Yo Zindagani that enthralled the crowd. Nepathya also sang Siranma Photo, Salaijo, Palla Gharka and Jogale Huncha from their latest album, Aaina Jhyal. The band’s frontman Amrit Gurung, interacted with the audience and shared his travel stories,states the statements adding that time and again he requested all to live united and in harmony.

“Wherever we may be, we are Nepalese first, I request all Nepalese living here to stay united as Nepalese and not divided in numerous societies,” the statement qouted Amrit Gurung as requesting hinting towards the 63 societies Nepalese have in South Korea where the official Nepali population is under 10,000.

Aath...Athara: Accepting the new 1974 AD (Review)

BY K BEDESHWAR

As soon as I started going through all the tracks of 1974 AD’s recent release “Aath…Athara,” I could quite relate my feelings to that of singer Nima Rumba and choreographer Rachana Gurung Sharma who had told me that they missed Firoze Syangden’s flavor in the recent release.Indeed, “Aath…Athara” makes you miss Firoz Syangden, the versatile vocalist, who left 1974 AD more than a year ago.



After “On Air”, which was released four years ago, 1974 AD definitely took a long time to come back with a new album. Firoze’s splitting from the band not only shocked many fans of 1974 AD, it also created some problems for the band. Because 1974 AD was a well established rock band in Nepal, definitely the other band members had to make sure that they didn’t lose their credibility and it was equally difficult to keep up with the expectations people have from the band.

One of the oldest bands now, 1974 AD’s Aath…Athara though lacks the original flavor of 1974 AD, the new experiments with sound and vocal, however, is not disappointing. In fact these masters of Nepali rock music have maintained their quality, even with this new lineup in the band – Sanjay Shrestha in drums percussions.

Many of those who bought this album must have been thinking what has “Aath…Athara” (8 – 18) has to do with 1974 AD! Too many figures, to get anyone confused. Well…1974 AD chose these two numbers 8 and 18 for their new album because one day they suddenly realized that both Manoj Kumar KC and Nirakar Yakthumba of the band were born on the 8th day of the month while Adrian Pradhan and Sanjay Shrestha were born on 18th. Besides, this was 1974 AD’s 8th album.

Shirshir Yogi’s Live Performance

Singer Shishir Yogi’s live performance truly mesmerized audiences who watched his show at the jam-packed Rastriya Nach Ghar, Jamal, Saturday. The solo musical program entitled “Samaya ka swar haru” was organized by Krantikari Yubak Sang.

In all, Yogi performed 15 songs from his albums “Pahichan”, “Suskera”, and the soon-to-be-released “Mod mod ma” during the two-hour-long program. Meanwhile, his six-year-old son Samyog took everyone by surprise with his song “Timro pani ragat”.

The “Sarangi ta rete pani” hit maker’s soothing voice was accompanied by the beats of the Harmony band. Besides crooning his hit numbers, Yogi also performed the song composed by Narayan Gopal “Ek muthi chamal pau hajura”, which has been recorded in his new album. Looking back nostalgically to Gopal, he said, though he couldn’t meet him personally, he would like to pay a tribute to the singer through the song.

Yogi is all set to release his third album – a collection of eight songs – by Dashain.

“The sentimental mood of the songs and the enthusiastic audience made a perfect combination,” said the singer as the show ended. The audience was enthralled by the performance and the hall was packed to the hilt.

The event was also graced by lyricists Ratna Shumsher Thapa and Padma Devkota. This was Yogi’s second solo concert to date.

Nepathya Come Up with Aaina Jhyal

Nepathya’s ninth album titled Aaina Jhyal was launched on september 14 at Nepalaya. Amrit Gurung, the band’s front man, who is a great lover of folk songs, has come up with the album that has folk influences in the majority of songs in the album. Most of the songs are written by Amrit Gurung himself.

The album was launched in the room where the band usually rehearses, jams up, composes and arranges their songs. Amrit Gurung dedicated the album to all his friends and people who helped him during the long journey of 20 years since the band was formed.

Kiran Shrestha, director of Nepalaya, hosted the programme. Seven songs of the album were audio previewed with photographs taken by the singer for the visuals.

The new album is related to his travels. The folks songs have touched different cultures, traditions and music of people whom he met during his journeys. Amrit said “I love travelling and it is important for those who compose folk songs. It teaches you about the lives of others. You experience and see the reality”. His music reflects his journeys. The singer, who has no musical figure as inspiration, learnt from listening to other people sing.

”I have no teacher as such. Simple people singing anywhere are the people from whom i have learnt and they are my inspiration,” said the singer.

Bhakta Raj Acharya’s Songs Lyrics

1. Mutu Jali Rahe Chha…..

Mutu jali rahe chha, yo maan gali rahe chha
Timro yaad aaidinda, aansu tesai bage chha
Aansu tesai bage chha
Mutu jali rahe chha

Milan ka hareak paal haru, mutu bhitra kahin ba-se chha – 2
Bipana mai sapana dekhne, (baani malai pare chha)-2
Huri chali rahe chha, ghau dukhi rahe chha
Timro yaad aaidinda, (aansu tesai bage chha)-2
Mutu jali rahe chha

Timro maya ko nyanopan ma, mero maya banchi diye chha – 2
Timro otha ka muskan sandhai, (mero hanso bilai diye chha)-2
Mero hanso bilai diye chha
Jivan dhali rahe chha, betha badhi rahe chha
Timro yaad aaidinda, aansu tesai bage chha
Mutu jali rahe chha
2. Jati Chot Dincheu Deu Mayalu….

Jati chot dincheu Deu mayalu
Mutu bhitra sachera rakhane chu
Jati ashu dincheu deu mayalu
Dui ankha bata jharne chu

Jati chot dincheu Deu mayalu
Mutu bhitra sachera rakhane chu

Mutu ma phule ko Biswas ko fula
Bibasta ko huri le jhari diyacha -2
Tara timro najar ma doshi ko shreya
Yo abh.....agi lai milecha

Thikai cha mayalu ma timro najara ma
Doshi bhayera bachne chu
Jati ashu dincheu deu mayalu
Dui ankha bata jharne chu
Jati chot ...............................

Bichod ko ghau ma khata nabasadai
Timi le pheri badanam garyo-2
Mero jivan ma bahar aune sara muhan haru thuni diyau
Thikai cha mayalu ma jivan bhari nai ujad bhayara bachane chu

Jati ashu dincheu deu mayalu
Dui ankha bata jharne chu
Jati chot ...........................
 3. Hajar Aankha Herne……
Hajar Aankha Herne Meri Mayalu Lai
Hajar Haat Chekne Meri Preyashi Lai
Kashori Ma Bhetu Ma Dhekhu Uni Lai
Yee Badha Chicholi Aangalu Uni Lai

Uni Boldachin Geet Ko Bhaka Liee
Uni Hasdachin Phul Ko Basna Liee
Nabolne Ko Hola Dhekhera Uni Lai
Ma Bolu Kashori Bhanu Ke Uni Lai
Bihaniko Shet Ma Uni Jhalmalauchin
Jashai Sanjha Parcha Pratichyama Hunchin
Uni Oath Ankhale Chunchin Malai
Upahar Ke Diu Bhanu Ke Uni Lai
4. Priya Timro Muhara Ma….

Priya timro muhara ma haanso maile kaile dikhina – 2
Rujhe ka parela haru, maile kahile obhano dekhina
Aa…
Priya timro muhara ma haanso maile kaile dikhina

Na jhara aansu yahan, anshu ko mol kahan chha ra – 2
Kasali lai na pokha baha, suni dine ko chha ra – 2
Suni dine ko chha ra
Priya timro muhara ma haanso maile kaile dikhina

Royi royi jiunu bhanda, hansi hansi bachna sikah – 2
Jag ko rit-a yestai yahan, ghaama pani khapna sikah – 2
Ghaama pani khapna sika
Priya timro muhara ma haanso maile kaile dikhina…

Priya timro muhara ma haanso maile kaile dikhina – 2
Rujhe ka parela haru, maile kahile obhano dekhina
Aa…
Priya timro muhara ma haanso maile kaile dikhina
