Nepathya

The only active founding member of the band is its lead vocalist and primary songwriter, Amrit Gurung. Gurung was born in 1968 and raised in the small village of Mulpani, near Pokhara. He claims his iconic glasses were given to him by one of his aunts, who was a follower of Mahatma Gandhi. In 2010, Gurung returned to Mulpani, and currently inhabits a small farm there. ==Nepathya at Wembley Arena==

Nepathya's early work was influenced by folk-pop music, but their sound became more rock-inspired over time. Their lyrics also shifted focus from peace and spirituality to Nepalese politics. The album Ghatana was released during the country's civil war as a call for peace in Nepal. == Notable Songs by Nepathya ==
