Nepali folk-rock band Nepathya is all set to leave for a two-leg tour of Europe on Wednesday.

The band leaves Kathmandu tomorrow to perform in Hamburg and Copenhagen. The first stop for the band will be Hamburg where they will perform at Gruenspan on the 30th of July and move on to Copenhagen to perform at Amagerbio on the 2nd of August. This is to be Nepathya’s debut shows in both Germany and Denmark.

“I am excited to perform in new lands and reach to the broader Nepali Diaspora” said Amrit Gurung, front-man of Nepathya. “We will meet to have fun and also share memories of Nepal” he added.

The band is scheduled to perform a two hour set of popular numbers from Nepathya’s catalogue. It will include songs from the classic hits like Chekyo Chekyo, Jomsome Bazaar to Resham, Taalko Pani and to their recent You Tube released number ‘Koshi ko Paani yo Zindagani’.

“With this brief tour of Europe, we are opening the horizons to take the band to cities with lesser Nepali population,” said Kiran Krishna Shrestha of Nepalaya, the promoters of Nepathya. “In these past 15 years of our affiliation with the band, we have taken the band to almost 50 towns/cities of the country. We now aim to take them to the Nepali Diaspora spread around the world.” He added.

Amrit will be accompanied by Dhurba on drums, Suraj on Keyboards, Subin on Bass, Niraj on Guitars and Shanti on Madal. The entourage will also include a technical and management team from Nepalaya.

The Hamburg show is being organized by Tamu Samaaj, Hamburg and the Denmark show is hosted by INAS, International Nepalese Artist Society, Denmark.
