According to the organisers, Shrestha will showcase his talents on August 29, the last Friday of the month at r-shala.
Shrestha has been actively involved in social awareness through humor and is undoubtedly amongst the most popular comedy artiste of Nepal. But connoisseurs of music also know him for his passion for music and singing.
He was inclined to music since his early childhood days back in his home village Jeetpur Fedi. Later on he acquired training in classical music from Sangeet Mahavidyalaya in Jhonche, Kathmandu. He started singing from 1966 and has more than hundred songs to his credit.
Pasal Bata Biki Sakeko Ma Manchhe recorded in 1967 is still remembered for its meaningful lyrics and sensitive singing. He has impressed the audience equally with sentimental, romantic and humorous songs.
Excited Shrestha says, "Paleti has been playing a vital role to reintroduce the diminishing atmosphere where a singer and the audience remain in close proximity to enjoy music. I have witnessed that the audience in Paleti is very supportive. The kind of love and respect they have shown towards the artistes is remarkable. I am eagerly waiting to sing in Paleti." nepalnews.com ia Aug 19 08
