I see everyone ..complaining about expensive convention every year. Now the tickets are even $35....too high.
Food $18/plate
Dj $20/person
These are too expensive.

We are planning to do MUSIC -FEST - 10 bands from US(with 1 popular artist/band from Nepal)

Less expensive...tickets and food
Grand prizes for winning band.
may be free or $10 DJ
& $25 concert

LET US KNOW YOUR IDEAS.......WE CAN MOVE FORWARD.

hi CaMoFLaGeD ....u remind me my very old song. thank you ...you still remember that old song. Yea re-unite of old OKELY would be nice...but even don't know where all my band members are...some in India- some in Arab.

But if we organise this FEST. we might be able to sing for you. Thank You.



PLEASE KEEP SENDING YOUR FEEDBACK

ANISH DAAI how about “ GHUNGURU KI TARHAA…..” I’d heard you singing that song somewhere. it was so nice . Could you plez.sing that song for us if you be able to organize that music fest ?

Yaa Sathi001,

This is one of those beautiful songs that reminds me my childhood. I love your first okely song "Okely oh! timi nai ho tyo!!"

And in the song "Sapana ho ki bipana..." I love the way you say "...amrita ko koseli bhanera..." Heard that the lyricist had something to do with this name by that time...lol!!

wow!! those days.

CaMoFLaGeD - are you really old? :S :S

ha ha ha!! Nails,

I remember everything that I admired when I was a child.

Well..yes compared to your age, I guess.

:-)>

it is not about Anish or Okely.........we just want nice MUSIC-FEST

Sathi.. Great Idea...Good Start..
We all are exhausted with this hyper capitalist idea of making money by ANA from poor Nepali without good service. Look at the cost associated from individual?? Do we really need 5 ***** hotels and big cities to conduct these type of events??Keeping in mind that young generation had made ANA convention successfull, I have some suggestions for you:
1. Plan these events on some sort of Resort, where everyone can enjoy music.
2. Food festival would be good idea along with concert. Food is always big problem in ANA.
3. Try to combine with Nepali Film Festival as a filler, if possible.
4. Arrange some sort of gettogether for "RETURN PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEER" from Nepal(there are lots of American who had done research on Nepali Music).
5. Lets not concentrate to accomodate Nepalis from all state. 6-7 hrs driving distance will save air fare.
6. Try to make event on long weekends. So that no rush.
Wish you good luck .... more to follow.....

how about "The Shadows" Rock band from nepal.

I have seen most of our nepali girls like to dance....and i have seen specially kids born here have participate in many cultural nepali dance.........

WHAT ABOUT DANCE COMPETITION & DJ for 1 day

AND CONCERT THE OTHER DAY

WINNERS ofr both events will be awarded.


PLEASE SEND YOUR COMMENTS.

Great idea!!Again.. my advice.. don't try to jump into too many things at once .. for the first time..
Ideas are always there but to make that idea successful it takes lot of effort.See , this from all angles and effort required.If you or your organizing group can market all this .. ok fine..

Thank You for all these great suggestions.

PLease donot stop your new ideas....we always WELCOME them

I WAS GONA SAY NARAYAN GOPAL :P TOO BAD HE IS DEAD.
HOW ABOUT SABIN RAI?
OR 1974 A.D.? :s CLASSICS...
THE SHADOWS...
SEASONS...

I think the FEST is focus on YOUTH. Young Musicians and Dancers.

But we do miss NG, like you Jhyap.
