Yuwa Spirit

My friend Rakesh got these free tickets emailing to a program in the Image fm. Since it was a ticket for two, he invited me to acompany him to the concert, and I well happily obliged. We went to fetch the tickets in the image channel office in Lajimpat. And I got pretty surprised. We didn't even have to show ids or something. They didn't find his ticket and they gave him others tickets. Turns out many people don't come collect the tickets. They gave us two extra tickets, but they had just expirted :D. Later we realized I too had to ask for the tickets for the show :D. Maybe next time ;).
Well the concert was for Saturday and at about 12 Rakesh called to get ready. I am always in two minds, but since it was load shedding tyme and since I had already agreed, I got ready to go. At half past one, Rakesh came and we left. The microbus trip was pretty exciting, seems like I get chatty when I get a girl in front o meh. The whole microbus listened to meh and Rakesh talk about the concert, the assignments, college etc etc.
We reached there just on time. But well in Nepal run in Nepali time. The artists arrived at about three o'clock, a full hour late. But there was a huge roar of applause for the beloved music artist. I too am pretty much fan of Raju Lama. I used to hear his songs almost nonstop in my cassete player around class 10. I knew pretty much every songs from his first album. But I hadn't listened to his newer songs.

The show started with the youth soul or sth, the one with the fucche drummer cum vocalist. He sang 'hami dherai sana chau' and 'tnt'. Pretty good for such a small boy, I liked his drumming part. The singing well, tnt isn't an easy song, is it? Then came Migma Sherpa. He too is quite a good artist. I was getting bored listening to all the jhyang jhyang and dhung dhungs in concerts, yea, I think people should consider singing melodious songs rather than rock songs all the time, have to be good to please others singing rock songs, naa. They have to for meh :). Then at last came Raju Lama, he really has a wonderful voice. And he has learnt to say hoina hajurr, staying almost two years in the US. :D. But to my disappointment, he sang most of his new songs and too little of his older songs. I loved the Badal Pari ko desh ma, uvu uvu khasa and sayed timro bato ma. He also sang Gajalu Tika, quite a nice song, but only a hint while the musicians were making some changes. Wish he had sung that in full. The crowd well were pretty cheerful but the dusty jaulakhel ground got us all choking. We were made to retreat to the back because of the dust. But too bad I didn't have anyone to dance with :D.
