Here is a latest interview of Nepali popular singer Pashupati Sharma. Nepal Popular folk Singer pashupati sharma have given his voice to about more than 1000’s of nepali folk songs which got most popular in nepali market today. If we talk about pashupati sharma we have got no words for him. he is one of the lok dohori legend of nepal. his voice is so amazing that everyone loves him. Watch his latest release Gaijatra special song, which is talking about corrupt political leader behavior in Nepal.
Born in Syangja, Sharma has been singing dohori ever since he can remember—the genre being the most loved art form of the place. In 2002, Sharma’s parents sent him to Kathmandu to become an engineer, but he secretly started performing duets in a bar called Saptakoshi Dohori Sanjh located in Chabahil instead. Later, he started taking part in live dohori competitions, in which he often landed in the top positions. Sharma’s most loved song, Malai America Yahi, featuring Sita KC, was written when he was in Qatar for a musical programme. After he witnessed Nepali labourers working for significantly low wages and in extreme conditions, he wanted to do his share in minimising the exodus of capable manpower from Nepal. In the song, Sharma talks about his fondness for native practices and about the importance of little things that lead to living a content life. Making use of a simple and catchy music structure, the song praises the agricultural prospects in Nepal, and hence comes out as a request to Nepalis to not underestimate the opportunities inside one’s own country. The singer uses mockery as a weapon in this song as well.
“We Nepalis are not eager listeners of words. We like to remain on the surface and do not care to understand what is being said. Preaching is no good while reaching out to such an audience, which is why I have opted for humour. I try to suggest an idea whilst keeping them entertained,” he says.
Sharma’s latest hit, Dhaad Dukhera Maryo, ridicules people’s dissatisfaction towards their occupation. People often complain how hard their work is and keep wishing to do something else—they try to find an easier way out. Some of us want to spend our life doing nothing, but that too has dire consequences. The song is a reminder of the ever-so-unsatisfactory nature of human beings. Watch Interview Posted below :-
And it doesn’t seem like the artist has plans on taking a break anytime soon. Sharma is currently working on a parody that makes a farce out of the politicians and citizens of Nepal. He is also busy touring both Nepal and abroad. Till date, he has travelled to over 26 countries, performing in concerts organised by the local Nepali communities living there.
In the saturated Nepali dohori scene, Sharma stands out for having paved a different path for himself by taking a well-established form of art and using it to convey his socio-political viewpoint. But most importantly, the singer-songwriter has managed to make changes in the traditional duet culture while still keeping its essence intact.
A singer who is well aware of his social responsibilities, Sharma could be an example for many in this country in a state of flux.
