KATHMANDU: The renowned Nepali singer Bidhan Shrestha will feature in the May edition of Paleti. He will make his debut solo endeavor at nepa~laya’s ‘r’ sala on coming Friday, May 26. “I am glad to be performing at the Paleti stage, where many artists I admire have performed,' said Shrestha in a press statement issued today. “This musical show will be a special one for me as this is the first solo concert in my two decade long musical career,” he added. Shrestha will be performing some of his popular songs in Paleti. “Bidhan has a unique originality in his songs,” said Aavaas, Paleti coordinator . “He is among my favorites in his generation and this session of Paleti signals its opening to the new generation of creators as well,” he added. Shrestha, who is known for his folk and patriotic songs, grew up in a musical family and groomed himself under the mentorship of his father Bijay Shrestha, a well known musician and lyricist based in Sunsari. Later, Bidhan trained himself under Ambar Gurung. Paleti is a micro series musical concert where singers and musicians come together on a mini platform and perform in close proximity with the audience. It had resumed last month after a gap of several years presenting songs and poems of Poet Dinesh Adhikari.
