Sikkim

Writes: Prashant Acharya

A host of traditional Gorkha 'Maruni' dancers from Sikkim, the Darjeeling hills and the Dooars are set to create a world record by performing at the World Culture Festival on Saturday that is being organised by the Art of Living Foundation at Mayur Vihar in New Delhi.

Three hundred and fifty dancers and their team leaders have already reached New Delhi for performing on Saturday evening on a giant stage sprawled across 7 acres of land. Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated the function in the presence of officials from 155 nations.

The Maruni dancers from Sikkim and north Bengal have undergone rigorous practice over the past two months and will mesmerize an estimated audience of 35 lakh people during the three-day festival, aimed at celebrating diversity among world cultures and uniting peoples across geographical boundaries.

Ramkumar Lama, the dance coordinator from the Dooars, said, "The almost forgotten Nepali folk dance will see a grand revival and get promoted across the world. We intend to make it into the Guinness Book of world records."

Meanwhile, Raj Sharma, the coordinator from Sikkim, said 118 dancers from the state’s West, East and South districts are participating and a huge contingent of Art of Living volunteers from Sikkim have already reached New Delhi to be part of the extravaganza.

“In the days of yore, men used to adorn women’s attire and enact female roles while performing the Maruni dance because women were forbidden to perform in public. But this has changed now, of course,” said Karuna Pradhan, the coordinator from Darjeeling. She said the song for the Maruni folk dance is in the 'Samala' beat and has been written by Rajen Ghimire while the dance choreographer is Lhamu Sherpa.

Bipul Chhetri took the Gangtok people to a high with his simple yet elegant music at Cafe Live and Loud as part of his ‘Lai Bari Lai’ tour.  After thrilling the Kathmandu crowd, people here could not resist themselves from tapping their feet right from ‘Asar’ to ‘Mountain High.’

Thirty-three-year-old Chhetri from Kalimpong sent the crowd here down memory lane with his amalgamation of Nepali folk-rock genre that explores the beauty and uniqueness of the Hills. Maintaining a low profile as of now, music seems to come to him as a passion, though he ceases to contemplate himself as a celebrity.

“Folk music completed me as a person and I am deeply rooted in the culture, because folk music has a sense of originality and it is who I am,” he shared. He, however does not confine himself to mere folk music and strives to explore other genres as well.

“Our culture has a lot more potential in terms of expression. Nepali literature and culture can capture a lot more than what English can do, and our rich culture has been the original source of motivation for me,” Chhetri said here on Saturday.

Kalimpong’s very own musician, Chhetri also holds a diploma in classical guitar from Trinity College, London. Right from his first song ‘Dhadelo’ that created a sensation online to recent hits like ‘Mountain High’, ‘Asar’ and ‘Ram Saile’, an ode to his father, his songs have been on everyone’s playlist, confined not only to the Hills but beyond it.

Chhetri, who claims music to be have been in his blood said “music was always there in my life since childhood. And good music teachers at my school, St Augustine’s in Kalimpong, helped me explore more.”

Chhetri, whose Darjeeling-related songs are a hit on Sound Cloud, added: “The overwhelming response from music lovers all over the world was more than expected.”

Chhetri also heads the Arts Department at the Vasant Valley School in New Delhi, suggests young and aspiring artists to come out of the confinement and explore, meet different people so that something or the other comes up.

Indian Gorkha singers and musicians migrating to Nepal, find no scope in India

9:57 AM

•

Sikkim

Given the lack of scope and support from the government, Indian Gorkha (Nepali) singers and musicians have started migrating to neighboring Nepal with the hope of reaping benefits, both financially and in name.

Singer Banika Pradhan.

The 1960s-70s, also considered the golden era of Nepali music, was when numerous renowned and legendary singers and musicians from Darjeeling and Sikkim – Nepalis of Indian origin – started focusing their sights in Nepal. Time bears witness as they accumulated further fame and success in that country.

The exodus of musical talent has continued down the years although the quality and genius may not have retained their exalted status, but some newcomers or rather, new-goers, are worthy of praise. For instance, Pushpan Pradhan, the vocalist of a band called Vaani, has become quite popular and bagged several awards in Nepal. He says his band had to endure quite trying times to come to the top in that Himalayan nation.

Pushpan comes from a middle-class family from a remote tea garden in the Dooars, while band member Uttam Gautam (rhythm guitar) is from Bagdogra and Sonam Pappu Lepcha (lead guitar) is from Jalpaiguri. Vaani was formed in 2012 and has since worked its way up quite commendably.

The Nepali-Sufi fusion song ‘Dhin Dhina’ by Vaani won the prestigious Image Band of the Year award this year at the Star FM Music Awards. The song continued to remain a hit and topped the charts in the Kripa Unplugged Season One aired on Terai Television last year. Vaani is now shooting for Season Two and it will be aired in Nepal’s premier channel, Kantipur Television.

Vaani band members with their coveted trophy.

Pushpan said, “No one cares nor bothers about Nepali singers and musicians in India, but once such people gain fame in Nepal, they express pride and go about boasting they are Darjeeling or Sikkim boys and girls. I feel encouragement and support should begin at home.”

Another upcoming playback singer in Nepal is Banika Pradhan, whose original home is in Longview Tea Garden of Kurseong sub-division. Banika said neither the West Bengal government nor the local administration took notice of her singing talent even when she was clinching awards at a number of local functions. Incidentally, Banika is winner of the Himalayan Idol singing competition hosted in Darjeeling.

She has already sung more than a dozen of songs in Nepali movies and has several music albums to her credit. Unfortunately, a lot of money needs to be to invested to gain popularity in this field, says Banika.

Some Indian Nepali musicians and singers from Sikkim and Darjeeling who have attained legendary status are Aruna Lama, Gopal Yonzon, Binod Syangden, Hira Devi Waiba, Ranjeet Gajmer, Tulsi Ghimirey, Danny Dengzongpa, Suresh Kumar Chhetri, Uday Sotang and Manila Sotang and Prashant Tamang.

Poems

VIVEK CHHETRI
The lush green fields of Rampuria forest village, about 25km from Darjeeling turned into a natural canvass earlier this month as villagers came together to express their creativity through farming.

Wangdi Sherpa, a 33-year-old artist from Rampuria who is now based in Vadodara, Gujarat, has started the unique project in the village where farmers were encouraged to participate in the “I have a dream,” project, which in Nepali translates to “Mero euta sapana cha.”

Sherpa encouraged the farmers to grow coriander, which when fully grown has turned into a relief work, its design spelling out the words “Mero euta sapana cha.”

“Art has always been confined to galleries in these parts of the world. Being born in this village, I have seen that many of my villagers are creative but they cannot express their creativity. I wanted to give back something to my friends from my village and make them feel happy and break the monotony of farming,” Sherpa said.

Sherpa studied fine arts at Santiniketan before completing his masters in fine arts from MS University of Baroda. He is currently freelancing in art galleries in Vadodara.

The villagers immediately took a liking to Sherpa’s project.

“I had initially thought that even if five to six farmers showed interest, I would be more than happy. We held six meetings with the farmers and finally we had 21 farmers involved in the project. There was excitement for they were doing something creative,” Sherpa said.

The project started on April 16, 2014, after L.B. Rawat, a local resident, agreed to part with a portion of his land to grow coriander on a 3ft x 27ft space.

“We probably spent only about Rs 2,000 as the entire village participated in this project. We are happy with the end result,” Sherpa said.

He said he was in touch with a Canada-based non-profit charitable organisation, The Vancouver Biennale, to try and showcase a documentary of their project during one of their exhibitions.

“I am in touch with them and am hoping for the best. If the documentary is shown, it will bring recognition to my village. I also plan to screen the documentary in art galleries in Mumbai and Delhi,” Sherpa said.

The coriander leaves,when fully grown, were plucked in early. “We had sown in half a kilogram of coriander seeds. The leaves were not for sale and were given to the villagers for their own consumption,” Sherpa said, adding that the project was aimed at celebrating creativity more than looking at commercial interest.

On the day the leaves were plucked, the residents organised a poetry recitation programme in the village.

The programme titled “Barima Kavita” or poetry in the farmland, was attended by budding poets Nima Sherpa, Saran Muskan, Bhupendra Subba, Binod Pradhan, Asish Rai and Pradip Lohagun.

Muskan said: “We have been reciting poetry in various places but it was a different feeling to recite a poem near a coriander field. We, too, are trying to bring poetry to the common people and this project by Sherpa also reflects our ideas.”

Sherpa now plans to invite artists from across the globe to his village for an art camp in the fields in October this year.

“I am also planning to organise a workshop and invite school children to participate in the event,” he said.

Sherpa and the local villagers believe that if they can come up with such unique ideas, they can make the village an attractive tourist destination in the long run by starting homestays.

Nima Sherpa, a resident of Rampuria who is a lecturer at Ghoom-Jorebunglow Degree College and was involved with the project, said: “Our long-term goal is to promote village tourism in the area by encouraging people to come up with homestays. We need to create a unique space so that the village can stand out to be different in its activities.”

The villagers are predominantly farmers who grow maize, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, cardamom and ginger. Some of the farmers have also set up flower nurseries.

L.B. Rawat, one of the farmers, said: “Everyone in the village was excited about the project as it has brought about something new in their lives. Most of the educated youths have left the village but now many are returning and brining in new concepts to the village. This new concept made us think we can do something different and this feeling, I think, can help us think differently. We were too stuck with our lives and we had stopped thinking.”

Nima said: “We can do unique activities in the village and connect with global initiatives, even if it is about celebrating creativity. We can create a unique brand and identity for the village. It will, however, have to be a sustained effort.”

The website of The Vancouver Biennale says its is a non-profit charitable organisation that celebrates art in public spaces. “Our exhibitions are unique in the world in that we feature sculpture, new media, film, music and dance.” The website states the project is inspired by Martin Luther King’s famous speech “I have a dream”.

The Biennale has a documentary video section in its website where documentaries of such project across the globe are featured. Sherpa, who is making a documentary on the project, is hopeful it will feature not just on the website but would be shown during events.

Art adda at Chowrasta Darjeeling organised by NGO Life and Leaf

NGO

By Vivek Chhetri
Darjeeling, May 25: Chowrasta, Darjeeling’s promenade that has seen one too many rallies of late, had musicians, artists and poets milling around this weekend.

A Darjeeling-based NGO, Life and Leaf, organised the adda, or ghamghat in Nepali.

The event, held on Saturday and Sunday, was called Jamghat and attracted local people as well as tourists.

Minket Lepcha, the marketing head of Life and Leaf that promotes local artisans, said the Jamghat was aimed at fusing young minds with old crafts. “We wanted to provide a creative platform to local artistes and musicians and this is how Jamghat happened,” he said.

Chowrasta had been more of a venue for political programmes in recent years. It has been the venue to Bimal Gurung’s and Mamata Banerjee’s meetings.

Of late, the Chowrasta’s green cover seemed threatened when private contractors started marking trees to cut them down and make way for a market complex for displaced hawkers. On May 22, Darjeeling residents stopped contractors from marking trees at Chowrasta.

Today at the Jamghat, poets Manoj Bagota, Nima Sherpa and Pradip Lohagun mesmerised the crowd with their lines in Nepali, Lakit Lepcha and Deoashish Mothey surprised the audience with their performance with pontong palit and esraj. “Pontong palit is a flute like instrument of the Lepcha community and Lakit is the only female playing this instrument now,” said Minket.

Deoashish Mothey, another participant, said: “Esraj is a Persian musical instrument introduced by Rabindranath Tagore at Santiniketan.”

The long forgotten song of the Gurung community, Ghatuseri Geet, was also sung by Amir Gurung from Sikkim.

The event was supported by a group of artisans who had come up with an animation on the Nepali warnamala (alphabets) — a method to teach vowels and consonants to children.

Songs, which are part of the animation, were sung by children at the event.

As the songs were being sung at the main square of Chowrasta, six artists were seen painting in another corner. Pankaj Ghosh and Pravin Gurung were engrossed in painting the Kanchenjungha. Paul Bhutia was drawing the picture of a meditating Buddha. In another corner, 10 organic tea farmers were seen promoting hand-rolled tea. The farmers were from Chottapubung, 35km from here.
