Popular Nepali folk-rock band Nepathya is scheduled to perform at Butwal this weekend at the premises of the local Kalika School. Part of the Music for Unity series, the show will feature Nepathya’s classic hits, along with the band’s recently released tracks.

Speaking about the concert in Butwal, Nepathya’s front man Amrit Gurung said, “We have been connected to Batauli through our songs and our past concert tours.

The venue of our Butwal concert (Kalika School) brings back nostalgia to me. During the conflict time, we had toured the nation as part of our Sundar Shanta Nepal, Travelling Peace Concert. In 2003, we had performed in Butwal at Kalika School premises.” He added, “I am delighted to witness the growth of Kalika School and the vibrancy Butwal currently demonstrates. This is an example of prosperity brought by peace after a decade long conflict. Nepathya looks forward to performing in Butwal.”

In addition to Sundar Shanta Nepal, Nepathya had also stopped by Butwal during multiple occasions during their Education for Peace (Shanti ko Lagi Sikchya) concert tour in the past.

The upcoming Music for Unity show is being organised by Butwal based Yes Nepal. “The show will benefit Abhiyan Nepal child home,” said Santosh Tandan of the organising team.

Amrit will be accompanied by Dhruba Lama on drums, Suraj Thapa on keyboards, Subin Shakya on bass, Neeraj Gurung on Guitars and Shanti Rayamajhi on madal.
