Pashupati Sharma's Lyrics and Compose, Singer Samjhana Bhandari's New Teej Song "Batti Balnai Pardaina" By Pashupati Sharma and Samjhana Bhandari
Pashupati Sharma
Pashupati Sharma is not an unknown name for people who are familiar with contemporary Nepali folk music, for he has provided dohori lovers—living in and out of the country—with some of the most fun tunes to dance to and contemplate on.
Born in Syangja, Sharma has been singing dohori ever since he can remember—the genre being the most loved art form of the place. In 2002, Sharma’s parents sent him to Kathmandu to become an engineer, but he secretly started performing duets in a bar called Saptakoshi Dohori Sanjh located in Chabahil instead. Later, he started taking part in live dohori competitions, in which he often landed in the top positions.
“My family didn’t support my career choice, as they wanted me to become an engineer. I had to become an artist in secrecy,” says the singer. Sharma’s debut album, Syangja Mathi Ban, was released in 2003. Since then he has released 17 more albums—seven of them comprise of Teej songs, five have Roila songs in them and five others are collections of folk duets—and has sang about 200 songs in total, penned and composed solely by himself.
“I get a lot of offers to sing other’s songs, but I decline as writing my own songs gives me the freedom to experiment and vary. However, I recently recorded a song titled Lekai Janey Lekali Danphe for a Nepali feature film Bracelet, which is yet to be released. The song is composed by Dipak Sharma, and I had to sing it due to peer pressure,” says Sharma.
