Music in the Park - Katmandu

Once again it is time for an addition to the Notebook. Today I am featuring a Nepalese Rock concert. Well, it probably isn’t an actual rock concert; rather it is the Nepalese equivalent of the rock concert in the park. It’s a short video clip, just to give you the favor of the event. It took place in Ratna Park in the center of the old district of Katmandu.

Ratna Park is not what we in the west would consider a park – it is a dirt field, not a blade of grass grows, the edges are covered with litter. It does have a band shell, but they were not using it for this performance. Despite the lack of the manicured lawns of the west the kids were the same. They loved the music as much as any crowd in the west.
