| The Blues evolved primarily from a folk
culture developed in the southern USA by a Black
community whose ancestors were transported from
west to work as slaves. The hardship of the
life they had, the pain, love, hunger,
boundaries is fully expressed through their
blues music. Their life was hard but their music
kept on rolling as one of the most popular form
of music all over the world.
As far as the history of blues in Nepal is
considered Mukti and Revival are the first band
to introduce the blues as the mainstream music.
The other bands known for playing blues music in
Nepal are Newaz, Looza etc. And since then blues
has been known to people of Nepal.
Newaz was disbanded and the members of Newaz
teamed-up with Mukti Sakya to form Mukti and
Revival. Kalanki ko Jam is one of there best
folk blues album ever produced by Mukti &
Revival.
There are a handful of blues bands in Nepal.
Some of these young talents are Nekhvam, Jocose
and Spirits. |
