| Bharat Nepali Party Resamm Phiriry (Trekking Song) Himalaya Roots Interra 2001 I could not find out much about the Bharat Nepali Party. It seems like a family based group. And I am not sure why they use this photo for the CD cover. I am pretty sure the photo was taken in South America. Looks to me closer to Peru than Nepal. (Typical of releases on the Interra label; they show little respect for the music and culture.) |
