NEPATHYA - Bhedako oon Jasto!
27 December
don simrik atelier 2003
A revolutionary new folk-rock album coming
from the Katmandu music scene, Bheda ko oon jasto (Like sheep's wool) is surely the next big thing
in world music, or at least has the potential to become just that. The tracks
are lined with highly adventurous guitar riffs accompanied by authentic Nepali
percussion instruments. Amrit Gurung's vocals alternate between madly energetic
and devilishly thought-provoking - as do his lyrics. Seriously, this is one heck
of an album coming out from Nepal. Every single track is a potential hit, from
the sleepy last track to the wild Bheda ko oon Jasto. We wish Nepathya the best
of luck.
