Nepathya performs in San Francisco

By A Staff Reporter,Kathmandu, Aug. 14: The second concert of Nepathya’s series of tours in America was held at San Francisco’s famous Warfield Hall, on the western coast of the U.S.

 This was the band’s second performance at this hall.

 They had performed there eight years back.

  Issuing a press release, Nepalaya, the event management company of Nepathya, informed that after the final song, ‘Rato Ra Chandra Surye’ the audience at the massive Warfield Hall in San Francisco, packed on both floors, was still jumping with excitement.

Singer Amrit Gurung noticed someone in the front waving a Nepali national flag. He walked straight ahead, grabbed the flag, draped it over himself first, and then covered the rest of the band members with it. The sight filled the hundreds of audience with enthusiasm and joy.

“Stay happy like this,” Amrit said, waving his hand in farewell. “Keep preserving the Nepali language and identity.”

The doors to the hall were opened at exactly 7:00 PM, as scheduled, on Saturday evening, and precisely at 9:00 PM, Amrit entered the hall to the tunes played by the instrumentalists and began singing “Kosiko Pani Yo Jindagani.”

The concert featured 17 songs, spanning from the band’s inception to the present, including “Bheda Ko Oon,” “Chhekyo,” “Anganai Bhari,” “Lampaate Surati,” “Mai Nache Chhamchhami,” “Resham,” “Taal Ko Pani,” and finally, ending with “Rato Ra Chandra Surye.”

“I had the opportunity to watch a Nepathya concert nearly 20 years ago as a student at Bhaktapur Durbar Square,” said Sudip Thapa of Bindas Event, the organiser. “Now, being part of the organising team that invited the same band and presented the event in this region has become a proud moment that I will cherish for life.”

After the grand success of the first two concerts of their US tour, Nepathya’s third performance will be in Columbus. The band will perform at the Kemba Live Concert Venue on August 17. 

Subsequently, the tour will continue in Dallas, New York, Maryland, and finally, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, read in the press statement. fff
