Nepathya Band

About

Formed in 1990 by Deepak Rana (now a Chopper pilot), Bhim Poon (now settled in Hong Kong), and Amrit Gurung, Nepathya has, in these last several decades, providing a platform to many musicians. It has seen 21 new faces come and go, but the name Nepathya and its popularity still consistently exist. Nepathya has been a platform for talented musicians. As music is yet to become a sustainable profession in Nepal, long-term commitments from musicians remain rare. Amrit Gurung has remained the guardian, leader, and currently the lead vocalist of Nepathya. With over 10 albums to its credit, Nepathya from its Chhekyo Chhekyo (छेक्यो छेक्यो) days (released in the early 90s) to Jomsome Bazaarma (जोमसोमे बजारमा, released mid-90s) to Resham (रेशम, released 2001) to Bhedako Oon Jasto (भेडाको ऊनजस्तो, released 2003) has maintained its consistency in the market. Nepathya's 7th album was called Ghatana (घटना), which was a musical expression of Nepal as Nepali people lived through the 2003-2005 conflict struck Nepal. Nepathya released its 8th and 9th albums - Mero Desh (मेरो देश) and Aina Jhyal (ऐना झ्याल) in 2010. Ten new single releases have been compiled in the tenth album - Album X. The 11th album has commenced with the single Bhatbhate (भटभटे, released 2022).
