Summers in Doha may be hot, but they haven’t deterred the active Nepalese community. They have three grand musical programmes planned for tomorrow and the next Friday (May 27 and June 3).
The Miteri Film Cultural Group (MFCG) is organising a concert at the Asian Town cricket stadium tomorrow from 1pm onwards. This is the fifth concert to be hosted by the group since it was established in 2007. The group is bringing folk singers Prakash Saput, Puja Puri and Arjun Kaushal, and actress-model Malati Gala from Kathmandu to perform in the show. Comedian-actress Niru Khadka will be the MC.
According to the management committee, the gate will open at noon and tickets are priced at QR30, QR50 and QR100. MFCG chairman Rit Kumar Shrestha said the main focus of the programme is to promote Nepalese culture in Qatar. Each artiste, he said, will perform five acts each.
The Myagdi Overseas Nepalese Association-National Executive Committee (MONA-NEC) is also hosting a cultural programme at Shalimar Palace in Najma. MONA-NEC, established in 2003, is preparing its best for its second programme.
Singers Purushottam Gaire, Gagan Pun and Nisha KC are expected to perform, and MONA-NEC will use the proceeds from the programme to fund a bridge in Nepal’s west. The programme is being co-ordinated by Kiran Shahi.
Next week, the Nepal Culture Council (NCC) is organising its debut musical programme titled Suvakamana Sumadhur Night. The programme will be held at Grand Mall in Asian Town from 1pm onwards. About a dozen Nepalese artistes will come from abroad to perform.
Popular modern singer Ram Krishna Dhakal will be the central attraction, who will be performing in the country for the very first time. Dhakal is one of the most popular and talented pop stars in Nepal. He is also a playback singer, acts and the judge in a Nepalese reality TV show. Many consider him second only to the singing maestro, late Naranyangopal, who is respected as the king of melody in the Nepalese speaking world.
TV comedian Jeetu Nepal; dance director Master Jeet; dancers and models Rishika Chaudhary, Apeksya Bashyal and Apsara Thapa; pop singers Kamal Khatri and Badal Prasain; modern singers Rima Gurung and Sabitri Joshi; and actor Sushil Nepal will perform at the NCC programme.
The tickets are priced at QR25, QR50, Qr70, QR75 and QR100.
The programme is being co-ordinated by Rupesh Yadav, Sakti Chhetri and Prakash. Each artiste will perform three times during the show, according to the organisers. There are segregated seats for men and women, and different categories of tickets. The organisers are expecting close to fifteen thousand people at the programme.
