About Nepathya
Fronted by Amrit Gurung, Nepathya has spent decades blending Nepali folk melodies with rock arrangements. The band is known for songs such as “Sa Karnali”, “Jomsomai Bazzar Ma” and “Rato Ra Chandra Surya”, which have become anthems for Nepali communities at home and abroad.
Why this concert matters for New Zealand
New Zealand’s Nepali population has grown steadily, particularly among students and young professionals. Nepathya’s return signals that the local audience is now large enough to support major touring acts from Nepal without needing an Australian leg to justify the trip.
Organiser Rojan Bhattarai reported that ticket bookings were moving rapidly ahead of the show, with the community preparing a Māori Haka performance to welcome the band.
