Kumar Subba and Karma Yonzon arrives to perform at Paleti
After featuring Daisy Baraili, Bhim Birag, Shnati Thatal, and Manjul in the past 4 episodes, Paleti Series is now all set to present it 5th presentation. Artist to be featured during the 5th show is a famous duo of Nepali Adhunik. Legend Kumar Subba will sing his legendary numbers and will be accompanied by yet another legendary musician – Karma Yonzon.
Kumar Subba and Karma Yonzon are not unknown names in Nepali music.
Together they have done wonders to Nepali music and music lovers revere them for their contribution.
Hey Phul Chudera Lane…
Sarangi ko Taarale mero mana ko geet gauncha…
Mero sano murali…
These are just a few examples that Nepali listeners remember them for. Another fun number – Deurali ka thiti ho nakkala parnu pardaina… adds on to the list.
The duo's identity would be incomplete if a theatre play is not mentioned here. Known as one of the most successful plays in Nepal – Ani Deurali Runcha… could be credited to have established Kumar Subba and Karma Yonzon in the Nepali music scene. Written and directed by Mana Bahadur Mukhiya, Ani Deurali Runcha was backed with beautiful composition from Karma Yonzon and vocals from Kumar Subba.
After 1972 when this play was staged with much success, a series of other plays followed.
Cross ma Tangiyeko Zindagi…
Pheri Itihas dohorincha…
Asatyam – asubham – asundaram …
All of these had musical contribution from the Kumar – Karma duo.
"I always wished my life and voice remains evergreen. I have maintained it and I am here to tribute it to the respected Paleti audience. Some oldies, some new including some unrecorded songs written and composed by Gopal Yonzon is also ready with me" says Subba during a break from a rehearsal session at nepa-laya's 'r' sala.
"Paleti has re-generated the musical friendship between Nepal and Darjeeling" adds Karma Yonzon.
Paleti with Kumar Subba and Karma Yonzon is scheduled for Friday, the 26th of May. Due to public demand the organisers has already added a show for Saturday as well.
"It is a matter of pride for us at Paleti to have opportunity to feature veterans like Kumar dai and Karma dai. With both shows almost sold-out weeks before the show, we are also glad that Paleti is gaining success and is being successful in re-creating the critical mass of music lovers." Says Aavaas, coordinator of Paleti Series.
nepa~ laya will feature 12 veterans of Nepali music during Paleti Series 2006. The event is organised on last Fridays of the Gregorian month.
