KATHMANDU, NOVEMBER 17
Nepal's famous folk-rock band, Nepathya is all set to embark on a month-long tour across ten cities in the country.
Issuing a statement, Nepathya said that the tour will kick-off from Biratnagar on December 2 and conclude in Kathmandu on December 31.
For a long time, the band has carried various slogans to address various contemporary issues through concerts. However, this time around, the band is set to present itself with a new determination on 'Campaign for Humanity' from this tour.
At a time when Nepal was trapped in armed conflict, Nepathya initiated peace campaigns by means of the slogan 'Sundar Santa Nepal' to heal the wounds of conflict-victims through music and 'Shanti ko lagi siksha', for schools in conflict free zones.
In the coming days, Nepathya has made it its aim to be the voice for 'Campaign for Humanity' and has thus forged alliance with a pioneer non-profit organization, Manavsewa Ashram.
It is an organisation dedicated to serve homeless people and persons with mental health related issues, with its 23 branches in 19 districts and extended services across 77 districts.
"We were actually touched by the organisation's dedication and objectives as it works to relocate homeless people within three years, said Band's lead singer and social activist Amrit Gurung.
With this campaign, Nepathya's songs will be known as 'Music for Humanity," Amrit Gurung added.
"In collaboration with Nepathya, we are hoping to forge connection with the young generation across the nation," Ramji Adhikari, Chairperson of Manavsewa Ashram said.
The first 'Music for Humanity' performance will kick-off from Haatkhola Maidan in Biratnagar on December 02, and stop-over performances will be held across major cities before concluding in Bhrikuti Mandap, Kathmandu on December 31.
