Jhalak Man Gandarbha

Jhalak Man Gandarbha (1935 - November 23, 2003) is one of the most significant Nepali folk singers. He is popular for Gaine Geet or Gandarbha Sangeet, a popular type of folk song sung only by the Gaine or Gandarbha ethnic group of Nepal. He is the first Gaine singer to record Gaine song and is respected for bringing voice of indigenous and ordinary people into the mass media. Aamale Sodhlin Ni ... (mama may ask ...) is by far his most popular song, which intones the death of a Nepali soldier on a foreign battle ground.
