KATHMANDU, JANUARY 1
Nepal's pioneer folk-rock band, Nepathya has concluded it's month-long nationwide 'Music for Humanity' tour with a massive performance in Kathmandu on Saturday.
With an aim of supporting Manavsewa Ashram, an non-profit organization dedicated to serving for humanity, the 70 member entourage entertained crowds across 10 cities during a month-long tour in the country.
During the tour, band's lead singer and social activist Amrit Gurung urged the audience to be generous and support for the good cause initiated by Manavsewa Ashram.
Prior to band's performance in the capital, two music videos were shown in big screen. As the clock ticked 6:00 pm band kicked-off the much awaited show their new song 'Bhat Bhatte' in the chilling cold evening.
As the show went on, the band entertained the full-house Bhrikutimandap crowd with their ever-green hit numbers including 'Veda Ko Uun Jasto', 'Chekyo Chekyo Deurali Dada', among others.
In the midst of the concert, Amrit Gurung said, everyone present here to listen us are heartily welcome and also thanked Manavsewa Ashram for facilitating this auspicious meeting with audience by organizing the show.
He also spoke fondly of the organization's mission, objectives, commitment and services offered to those homeless people.
"Going for foreign employment has spiked in one way or the other in recent times. Most of our villages wear desert looks as youths have been moving abroad in search of work," Gurung commented urging the concerned authorities to create enough opportunities in the country.
The audience were entertained with smashing hit numbers including 'Yo Jindagani', 'Gaun Gaun Bata Utha' before signing-off the show with patriotic song 'Rato Ra Chandar Surya'.
As usual, Amrit was supported by Dhruba Lama on drums, Suraj Thapa on keyboards, Subin Shakya on bass, Niroj Gurung on guitar and Shanti Rayamajhi on madals.
