Kathmandu :

The venue was Patan Museum. for a concert by Kutumba and Looza to mark the International Youth Day in August 12. And Kutumba were all set to overwhelm the audience with their instrumental numbers. But nature has something else in mind. No sooner had they started, than it started raining cats and dogs making the audience run for shelter. And the band stopped playing.

An hour went by but the rain showed no signs of stopping, and neither did the audience any signs of abandoning the concert. Inspired by such unshakable (or should we say unwashable?) loyalty, the band started playing.

What more did this enthusiastic crowd need? They started clapping while trying to hold on to umbrellas, and tapping their feet. And in this fight between nature and music, nature had to give in.

Kutumba played the famous Nepali folk tune Asarai maina ma pani paryo rujhaune as a tribute to rain god Indra for letting them perform finally.

Changing four different sizes of flutes, accompanied with sarangi, madal, and other stringed

and rhythm instruments, Kutumba kept the audience enthralled till Looza took over.

The concert was organised by Youth Initiative and the proceeds from the event will go to Millennium Development Goals Youth Fund.
