Folk Bands and Artists
Night
Kathmandu
Night is a Kathmandu-based folk band formed in 2006, with members coming together from different musical backgrounds.
Night focuses on reviving lost and endangered Nepali instruments and creating new sounds rooted in collective Nepali heritage
and reintroducing said music and instruments to a world audience.
Most of the songs are composed ‘in the field’ where we stay with the people in villages. After living with a melody, a song, or a drum rhythm over a period of time, we slowly start sensing its deeper meaning and through developing our own compositions, we try to express and share this understanding with others.
So the people, places and cultures of Nepal have been our greatest inspiration.
