Led by multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Bharat Nepali, the Bharat Nepali Party has been a major force in the preservation of traditional Nepali music. His singing of the Nepali language is accompanied by sarangi, a bowed stringed instrument, and guitar, as well as tabla, cymbal, and flute. Recorded in Kathmandu, Nepal, in May 1995, the Bharat Nepali Party was featured on the multi-artist album Himalaya Roots: Traditional Music of Nepal. ~ Craig Harris
