What's some good, traditional Nepalese music?

[Ad]

The question says it all. I want to get a couple CDs of tradional (not modern) music, but don't know where to begin. Can you guys help out here? Thanks.

I read somewhere that Elvis was Nepali. He had the hit single "Charpi Rider".



But then again, I tend to make stuff up.

Elvis is all things to all people. He definitely lives.

Start with Radio Nepal.

Is Radio Nepal a radio station or the name of a band? (Sorry, if this sounds stupid) If it's a station, what is the channel? Thanks.

 

[Bill Martino]

Try a search on Radio Nepal.

The sun in the mountains, the rivers running through them, wind on the plains, the sound of the kami's hammer ringing on the anvil, the sizzle of the water tempering the khukuri's edge...you know, the normal stuff.

Thanks for another good link, Beo. I like the traditional Nepali music (lo git) but am not much for the modern "Pepsi" music.
