Both of them look like anyway. Let this be a warning for all the organizers throught US. Raju, I understand because of his voice and the status, but do you really need the guitarist, bassist and the drummer? Do you really? There're lots of Nepali musician living right here, why not let them do it. Give them a month notice so they can make arrangement with their work schedule. If you're in a place with no Nepali musician, then why not try the local kids? Check your local craigslist and there'll be tons of them who justa want to gig, anytime, any type of music. Anyway, it's not like Nepali music like Raju's songs are so hard to play that we need to import the guitarist. It's not a Yngwie or Satraini level of skills. I think any Nepali musician residing here in the US will agree. I understand that there'll be certain occasion that we'll have to get them from Nepal. The person that come right off my mind right now is the Manoj, the guy who plays flute with 1974 AD. Or some exceptional Sarangi player, a master of Sitar. Those situation are understandable. But Drummer, Bassist and guitarist? Do you really need to invite them? In fact I'm suspicious about the organizers (the buddhist community)whether they did it deliberately and it needs to be investigated. Maybe it's all a drama set by someone with a connection. Who knows. By the way I'm a buddhist too, but first a Nepali citizen.
