TRIUMPH IN PANAUTI: KUTUMBA

After work-shopping with local musicians for two days, Kutumba staged a fine performance in Panauti today. The two-hour performance included three new tunes composed and arranged in Nepali baja with local musicians over the two-day workshop. The performance took place at the Indreshwor Mandir in Panauti with the local association of four youth clubs. With a first-rate turnout of over 500 Panauti residents, each paying an entrance of Rupees 10, the performance featured local Nau Baja Guru Ganesh Duwal and young Nepali baja musicians Santosh Duwal, Kabita Duwal, Rajesh Subhakar and Pranil Joshi. Friend of Kutumba, singer Mica Sundari also entertained the enthusiastic audience with a selection of Nepali and Newari numbers.
