Himalayan Live Concert will feature Raju Lama, Nima Rumba, Mingma Sherpa, Sindhu Malla and Tsering Gyurmey - with the band, Mongolian Heart.

Yeah ssYN,
It's easy to balme others .right?..you guys sell a crack for $40 and now u'r saying that they had a "jet lag" ....

Nine artists had flown into New York only on Friday, November 24. The next day they were to perform. Imagine how they were feeling.

So we were there to imagine .HUmm. Why they came on friday ? u'd call them on that same saturday (nov25th).............cheap, unorganised or may be lack of experienced.

Personally i enjoyed lil bit but SSYn next time onwards pls give some time/rest for the artists before they hit the field.........call them couple days before the prog.....

Nepali artists are not given any respect in the US. Nepalis in the US have the mentality that hey i'm in the US now so these artists are nothing to me. Some even ridicule the artists as being a common nobody in the US. Even organizers bring them from Nepal a day in advance in order to save some money on accomodation and food, and treat them like some commodity whereby they spend the least amount possible while maximizing profits.

Jai Nepal

I don't want to be seemingly opening a can of worms when I mentioned the jet lag etc... It was merely to explain any shortcomings anyone saw in the part of any artist. And blame game will be the one I'll try to run away from farthest.

But, meroworld brings out a very good topic - about many of us in the US not respecting artists from Nepal. And I admire the way he 'twisted' it around to include the organizers as ones also not respecting them.

First thing first. As far as I can see, artists from Nepal are respected very much by most of the Nepalis in the U.S. Throngs coming to see them, inviting them to their houses, offering them gifts and monies are a few examples of how much they are admired. Then again, there are always some who not only not respect artists but respcts almost no one. They are, I think, the exceptions and not the rule.

Secondly, to blame organizers, in this case, for the artists' late arrival in the U.S. to 'save money on accomodations and food' is, to the say the least, totally unfounded. I saw it with my own eyes, about three weeks ago, when the organizers had in their hand, ready to be mailed that day, a letter of approval for a visa from Homeland Security, or whoever issues them, for all nine members.

ssny hey where u from i think i know u man,i was in concert, i was the guy who start to dance infront but the yellow tshirts they didnt let me dance and told me only after half time we will be allow to dance, i think i was drunk and start to argue with them, sorry about that to all those yellow tshirt guys

rockend u are right dog that was the worse concert and worse food,

what the fu(k the artists they came to nyc on friday night, that's fu(ked up, why they didnt came like 4 or 5 days early .............to save money and food cost what the hell if u guys have told me early i would have let sindhu malla stay in my appartment and i will have gone to my friend house to sleep,hahahahah but i am serious

most important thing is hey guys dont go to concert on 23th dec,its gonna be waste of money and time

Well don Key.. well I do accept ur comment but I ain't .............. I hope you got what I meant to say.......well ssny plz don't say jetlag.........

coz all the people were saying mingma did the best... of all and he was rocking.. even mah sister became the fan of mingma.. I don't how she became the fan but you know what mmah sister never heard of the nepalese artist named mingma..

So, what 's the difference betwen sindhu ,raju, nima, mingma..well there is no any difference.. they all are nepalese and they all are professional artists.....Aren't they.....

Well mero world were you in the concert.. you can't say we don't have respect to the nepalese artist.. if we don't have respect why would we go in their concert...... Well you are wrong mero world.....

Well 23 rd DECEMBER is mah b'day.... well waht to do.. In mah b'day..
I will be working but.. don't know what to do after work........

Don_key - Glad your scuffle with the yellow shirted volunteers didn't escalate much. I didn't hear from the organizers but, I'm guessing, that the reason they didn't want people dancing in the front during the first half was to let other non-dancers, just viewers/listeners, to enjoy the show also. They came early to get good seats, and if all they saw were people dancing infront, their effort would have been in vain - and they'd be mighty mad, wouldn't you think?

But, I hear that in the next show on Dec 23, there'll be very few chairs - only for elderly and children. Rest of the floor will be open - for standing and dancing.

Rockend - I encourage you to come celebrate your birthday with some of your friends and over a thousand fellow Nepalese. If you promise you're coming, I'll speak with the organizers so that the whole crowd can sing Happy Birthday to you. How's that sound? (We'll work something out making sure you're there and that your real name is taken to be announced that night).

Tickets were neither stolen not lost.

Great propaganda machine to the likes of Karl Rove.

I will hire you when I run for Wada Adakshya next time

Well SSny I don't know weather I am comming or not..... coz you know why?// my $40 was a waste last time ....... I don't want to throw $40 in rubbish bin yar..... but it's also mah b'day.......well don't know what to do... I guess I won't be able to sit beside the gal who was so sweet,charmingand beautiful..... beside meh last time......in the concert.........

Well I don't know about the 23rd coz you know what I am never prepared for anything... I may be there I may not.. be.. I never plan for the comming day.... haha!!! the most unprepared person in the world...... I have never planned for the comming day in mah life. till today.........

TM - You're wrong... no propaganda necessary.

Rockend - when you come to your decision, let me know here. No promise, but will try to do what I offered. In the mean time, here's a video for your sister and all of Mingma's fan... his most popular song on video.
