The Edge Band Songs Lyrics

Song: Mero Aansu…..
Artist: The Edge Band

Mero aansu timi lai haanso bhayechha
Mero betha timi lai katha banechha
Biwasta ma khusi thiyen, Timi bina chhati mero
Kati pokhe timi saamu samarpan ko mutu mero

* Khusi haru phulne chha re, kalpana ma dherai hanse
Mero mutu ghayal bani yo, aaja prem sanga haren
Aaja prem sanga haren – 2
Maya diye maya line ti antim ti rahar haru
Eaklo lagyo aaja aafnai sahar haru
Timi phulyau khusi sanga, Mata oili jahri sake chhu
Timi rehechhu bina sitima, mata jiundai mari sake chhu

Repeat *
Chahe ko thiyen, hamra milan safal rahos
Tara timi le, ti kasam bhuli diyau
Yehi mero sajaya bho, timi bata bhichodine
Yehi mero sajaya bho, timi bata tada rahane

Repeat *
Hu. Yeh.
Aaja prem sanga haaren….

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

Amber Gurung “Father of Nepali Modern Music”

Amber Gurung was born on February 26, 1938. His father Ujir Singh Gurung,  born in Tanahun district of  Nepal, was a soldier in the British Indian Army and later joined the British Indian police force in Darjeeling, India, where Amber was born and raised along with his two siblings, an older sister and a younger brother. Amber Gurung and his wife Bina have four children, Kishor, Raju, Alka and Sharad and five grand-children.
Amber Gurung was passionate about music from his early childhood. His father never approved of this interest but his mother  encouraged him. He started composing and singing during his schooldays, which won him recognition and many music awards. He is a self taught musician who learned both western and eastern classical music entirely on his own. He taught himself to play violin, piano, guitar, mandolin, tabla and several other instruments. 
In the 1950s Amber Gurung started a music institute, The Art Academy of Music, in Darjeeling, where famous musicians and singers such as Aruna Lama, Sharan Pradhan, Gopal Yonzon, Peter Karthak,  Indra Gajmer, and Ranjit Gajmer to name a few, learned under his guidance. His first recorded song ‘Nau Lakhe Tara’  made waves throughout the Nepali world, both in Nepal and India. This song about the suffering of the Nepali diaspora is considered a masterpiece of both lyrics (by Agam Singh Giri) and musical composition. Many other songs recorded in the 1960s on 78 speed vinyl records helped make him one of the main architects of modern Nepali music.

Amber Gurung joined the Folk Entertainment Unit, Government of West Bengal, Darjeeling as Music Chief, from 1962-1965. He became disillusioned with the bureaucracy  and resigned from the post in 1965, but continued to write music and do stage shows both in Nepal and India. In 1967 he joined the prestigious Dr. Graham Homes School  as a Music Teacher. In 1968 he was invited by then King Mahendra of Nepal to return permanently to Nepal to establish and chair the music department of the newly founded Nepal Academy of Arts. He served as Music Director for nearly 30 years.
