which has gained consistent
popularity and social recognition. During the past 21 years of its
existence- Nepathya has been the trendsetters. They have been the
pioneers to blend folk melodies into youth friendly pop and rock format.
Folk melodies have remained the life force of Nepathya. Apart from
folk, Nepathya’s songs also portray contemporary Nepal – its pain at
times of war and distress, and yet the ray of hope an artist sees and
imagines of… Critics address Nepathya as the Most Earthy Nepali Band.
Formed in 1990 by Deepak Rana (now a Chopper pilot), Bhim Poon (now
settled in Hong Kong) and Amrit Gurung, Nepathya has in these 18 years
provided platform to many musicians.
It has seen 21 new faces come and go, but the name Nepathya and it’s
popularity still exists with consistency. Nepathya has been a platform
for talented musicians. As music is yet to become a sustainable form of
profession in Nepal, long-term commitments from musicians remain rare.
Amrit Gurung has remained the guardian, leader and currently the lead
vocalist of Nepathya. With 8 albums to its credit, Nepathya from its
Chekyo Chekyo days (early 90s) to Jomsome Bazaarma (mid 90s) to Resham
(release 2001) to Bhedako Oon Jasto (release 2003) has maintained its
consistency in the market.
