OK Ashu, how about Honey and/ or Soni Rauniyar? I think they did sing. :)
ashu Posted on 26-Nov-01 04:55 AM

BP,

HR and SR, the public heart throbs of one's younger days, have long entered connubial bliss in England and Darjeeling respectively, and have left the Nepali
arts scene altogether.

So that's that.

My favorite singers are:

1. Bacchu Kailash (he's still alive and doing quite well for himself!)

2. Fattey Man (his "yesto pani hoondo raicha" is one song I have listened to 1000 times so far.)

3. Dhruba KC ("mayalu hajar hoonchan; tara maya eutai hooncha")

4. Prem Dhoj ("yo naani ko see.raima. indra-kamal")

5. Narayan Gopal ("yeti choko, yeti mitho, duila timilai maya")

6. Deep Shrestha ("Hoo yaatri, euta . .)

7. Arun Thapa ("bhoolu bhoolu lagyo malai")

8. Deepak Kharel ("timro tyo hasilo muhaar.ko")

9. Bhakta Raj Acharya ("jati chot dinchau")

10. Nabin K. Bhattarai ("sayad")

and more,

Deep Shrestha
Aruna Lama
Arun Thapa
Narayan Gopal

Hongkong Group's songs will be in nepali hearts for ever. Its like ever green songs. It was as pouplar when I was growing up as it is today. Isn't it amazing that the band was fomed in late 70s, and we are still in to it? Its too bad that the band didn't last due to the band members postings. Are there any other bands out there who has such an impact on nepali music?

Sangam.
Sangey Posted on 26-Nov-01 05:33 PM

Let's not forget the great Gopal Yonzon. I think because of him and his "dautari" the Nepali music is where it is today.

BTW, last I heard, Sashi-miss is still working for RNAC. Did she ever sing? But, boy, she was pretty, wasn't she?

I wonder how her colleague is doing - PurnaNepali-sir. He of "chati ma mero, yo choto bhoto" fame.

joie de vivre Posted on 27-Nov-01 11:28 AM

I’m not in tune with most new singers. I’ve been told more than once that I need to be more adventurous and expand my musical taste but I love the oldies. I’d have to say the following count among my favorites:

Kehi Mitho
Mutu Mathi Dhunga Rakhi
Gajaluti Thula Thula Aankhen

And lots of other Narayan Gopal songs that don’t come to mind now but I find myself humming at work!!
Nabin Posted on 27-Nov-01 11:49 AM

Nabin Bhattarai is like Nepali Richard Marx :) or Modern Talking band of 80s. I thought most of his songs are the same. There is no variety in his songs. Mero b4 maa...
Trailokya Aryal Posted on 27-Nov-01 01:26 PM

nepali gaana ta amber gurung aruna lama narayan gopal ko ramro. here's my list

sparsha Posted on 27-Nov-01 01:37 PM

Trilokya ji,
Chhora chai hai maya....I think it is Daisey(sp?) Baraili who sang that song.

Some of my favorites are:
Deep Shrestha...Mutu chiri ragata pokhe
...Parkhi basi timilai afno bhanera
Diwakar Khadka....Bolau bhane timilai bat lagne dara
Arun Thapa........Ritu haruma timi hariyali basnanta hau
Bhakta Raj.........Sabai behosi nasa piyera bina piyerai behos chhu ma
.........Hajar sapana haruko maya lagera aauchha
Fatteman.........Yasto pani hundo re chha jindagima kaile kaile
.........Marna baru garo hunna
Narayan Gopal...Timile pani ma jastai maya diyera hera
...Pokhiyera gham ko jhulka bhari sanghara ma
Kahi tadha jada kheri sangai hidau jasto lagchha (I can't remember the first line, now.)
......Jhareko paat jhai bhayo

Can some one from Nepal post the top ten nepali songs (nowadays)?

Trailokya ji, I guess you are in Nepal. Would you mind ?

Top ten nepali songs from hits fm:

http://www.hitsfm.com.np/hitsfm/files/hitscd.htm

Hope this may help
sparsha Posted on 28-Nov-01 04:18 PM

Thanx gangane.

But what I actually was looking for was/is the list of songs from the listeners not from a radio or an organization or a promoter.

Thanks again.
Jwahar Posted on 28-Nov-01 04:30 PM

Trailokya,

Maan ko kura lai badhi narakha is of Danny Danzokpa NOT Udit.
Jwahar Posted on 28-Nov-01 04:34 PM

Sparsha
Bolau bhane timilai bat lagne dara is of Badri Durga Kharel not Diwakar Khadka.

Title of this "Kahi tadha jada kheri sangai hidau jasto lagchha" is
Duita phool deuraliko sanagai....
sunakhari Posted on 28-Nov-01 04:37 PM

Wow Jwahar,
I had forgotten about those two - Badri & Durga!!
Do you know any songs by Pema Lama?
Jwahar Posted on 28-Nov-01 04:47 PM

Pema Lama? Didn't she sing some song for a Nepali movie made in Darjiling?
I remember a duet..."Mitho mitho...timro saath mitho......"
Sunakhari Posted on 28-Nov-01 04:55 PM

no thats Dawa Lama
Pema Lama is a man.
sparsha Posted on 28-Nov-01 05:03 PM

Jwahar,
Nice catch. You are absolutely correct. Bolau bhane timilai bat lagne dara is by Badri Durga Kharel. What I had in my mind from Diwakar Khadka? Tadhai bata dekhda bolu bolu lagchha .... and yes, I also remembered the first line "Duita phul deuralima sangai rakhyoun jasto lagchha" right after I posted my list.

Thanks for correcting/reminding me.

Sunakhari,

Once (My God! it's been more than 10 years) I was riding a jeep looking vehicle (may be mahindra & mahindra) to Lebong from Chaurasta with a bunch of people. One of them was quite friendly. Once I got off at Lebong right by that CRPF post, he also got off. We exchanged friendly conversion for a while. Then pointing south south west at a bas ko jhyang some 500 meters away from that CRPF post he said "that's where my house is". He mentioned that he had just come back from kathmandu recording some songs. Now, I am trying to remember what he said his name was. Pema Lama? May be.
Biswo Posted on 28-Nov-01 05:40 PM

Sparshaji:

Nice choices. Three of my favorites are:

1. Taradevi "Phula Ko Thunga Bahera Gayo, Ganga Ko Paani maa" (Unbeatable)
2. Satya Narayan Rajbhandari "Mutu Mero Chudaai Lagin Jhuto Maayaa Launele"
3. Bharati Upadhyaya "Mai Chhori Sundari Kasari Bharam Paani, Uthi Uthi Bharam Bhane Ghailaa Bhandaa Saani. Basi Basi Bharam Bhane Kammar Dukhne Baani."
Sangey Posted on 28-Nov-01 06:11 PM

Biswo-jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii,

Your posting was God-sent to me. For years and years, I have been searching for that song, "Phula ko thunga bahera gayo..." But I did not know the words, nor its singer. I knew only the tune. But thanks to you, I now have first line and name of the singer. Kueool!!

For some reason, since I was a little kid, I always associated tree tops in a gloomy day in Dharan with that song. Weird, eh? That I am.

Pray tell, do you know if it is stored anywhere in the net so that I can download it?

Sangey.
nabin Posted on 28-Nov-01 06:23 PM

Biswoji,

"Mai Chhori Sundari Kasari Bharam Paani, Uthi Uthi Bharam Bhane Ghailaa Bhandaa Saani. Basi Basi Bharam Bhane Kammar Dukhne Baani."

Don't you think it should be like "Mai Chhori Sundari Kasari Bharam Paani, Uthi Uthi Bharam Bhane KAMMAR DUKHNE BAANI Basi Basi Bharam Bhane GHAILA BHANDA Sani." This way it make more sense, no?

Actually, only once in the begenning she sings as Uthi uthi bharam bhane ghaila bhanda saani, Basi basi bharam bhane kammar dukhne baani..After that lyrics change to Uthi uthi bharam bhane kammar dukhne baani, basi basi bharam bhane ghaila bhanda saani...Well, I may be wrong. I have to listen to the song to be sure but no matter what that song is nice, from good old days.

Nabin
nabin Posted on 28-Nov-01 06:34 PM

Sangey,
This is your lucky day or what? here is the link where you can listen to hundreds of (May be even a thousand) Nepali songs including yours and Biswo's favorite "Phulako thunga..." by Tara Devi and the music is given by Ghagadan Naati Kaji.

link
http://listen.to/nepalisong ------>click on old songs then scroll down to Songs- Music by Nati Kaji. Roll the drum..7th from the top...Phulako thunga.

Enjoy.

Man. bhedetar in summar is soooooo cooool.
TRINA Posted on 28-Nov-01 09:39 PM

Does anybody know who sings this song, well actually I don't even know the name of the song but it has to do with a pillow and his/her beloved's picture underneath
it. I heard that song once on a bus sung by one of the passengers when I was about six or seven and that was the first and last time I ever heard that beautiful song.... Gosh thinking about it brings back memories of my childhood in NEPAL.
Biswo Posted on 28-Nov-01 09:59 PM

Nabinji:

I am not sure. May be you are right. Your sentence makes more sense,anyway.

And thanks for the link. I was also looking for that song. Actually, this site was
my favorite site, and I visited that site a lot of times in this summer.(I also sent
an appreciation letter to Miss Panta for that great effort also.She is doing a
great job.) But it never occurred to me that I should look for that song in
Nati Kaji section. I always looked at Tara Devi section.

Sangeyji, I am glad my posting was so helpful for you. Btw, the most touching
lines in that song to me is:

"Raata Maa Malaai Herdachha Tolaai Purbako Taaraale
Tyo Kaantipur maa Sapaniko surmaa Samjheki Pyaaraale....."

It was a song from Manko Baadh, right?
Prativa Posted on 30-Nov-01 04:01 PM
