OUT NOW!! After rocking the dance floor at the Boom Festival and Modem in Europe this summer, NEPAL IN DUB - a collaboration between Italian Psy Sarangi Ustad Lo.Renzo and the Gandharva Brothers, farmer-folk musicians from Nepal is OUT NOW on Bandcamp!! (and today is also Bandcamp Friday)
\\
Bandcamp Link: https://lorenzochill.bandcamp.com/album/nepal-in-dub-folk-version-remixes
\\
All sounds were recorded at Bengsota (meaning Mushroom in Assamese), the psychedelic hut of Paat Halodhiya Farm during the first edition of the BAITHAK ON THE FARM (17-21 October, 2022) which was a part of The Gig Sessions of Kamakhya Records 2.0
//
Sharan Gandharva and Ramesh Gandharva are brothers and hail from Kachankawal in the Jhapa district of Nepal. They travel miles on foot, taking public transport only to commute to the tourists' beloved Darjeeling town. Otherwise farmers from the fertile plains of Nepal, these talented folk musicians perform well-loved Nepali songs with their treasured companion, the beautiful Nepali Sarangi.
//
Made of sturdy jackfruit wood, and polished with silk-smooth pine resin, the Nepali Sarangi bears the symbols and impressions of ancient string instruments that evolved over thousands of years across the Silk Route. Once the symbol of their idiosyncratic cultural and musical traditions, this music is now endangered and lost in the world of modern Nepali music. With stories involving simple village life, silk trades, and innocent love, their music takes one on a soulful journey. Breaking away from the regular, they come with music taught to them by their forefathers. Never burdened with existential struggle, they worship music as a way of life.
\\
All proceeds from Bandcamp sales will go to the Gandharva Brothers.
//
The first edition of the BAITHAK ON THE FARM was a joint effort of Kamakhya Records, Paat Halodhiya Farm, Darjeeling Walks, and Ψ Madmuzik - Dedicated to the evolution of psychedelic music & its culture.🙏❤️

A STORY OF IMMIGRATION: OUT NOW!! নাওঁ খেলাৰ গান (The Song of the Boat Race) by Jurupari (Single Track Release)
\\
নাওঁ খেলাৰ গান (The Song of the Boat Race) is the first release from Kamakhya Records' UNTOLD STORIES OF INDIA Series. Immigration has always been a touchy issue globally and is the topic of this release.
//
নাওঁ খেলাৰ গান (The Song of the Boat Race) is a story from the char chapori areas of Assam in Northeast India. It is the "no-one-want-to-go" zone of Assam where an unscrupulous nexus of moneylenders, thikadars (contractors), and politicians rule the roost.
//
The char chaporis are super fertile but shifting river beds of the Brahmaputra River in Assam. It is inhabited by Bengali-speaking Muslims whose ancestors were brought to Assam from East Bengal (now Bangladesh) under the "grow more" policy of the British Raj.
\\
Not too many know that the cost of the Anglo-Burmese wars in which Assam was annexed into India in 1826 by the British Raj stood at One Billion Pounds by today's estimate. The British East India Company wanted to recover costs and they wanted to do it fast. The "Grow More Campaign" was a part of the recovery plan of the British East India Company and it resulted in Muslim farmers from East Bengal being settled in the char chapori areas for jute cultivation. This continued till the Partition of India in 1947 and the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.
//
These hard-working farmers who grow jute, rice, vegetables, etc in the most challenging conditions rarely find mention in the mainstream narrative of Assam despite their contribution towards feeding a huge section of the population of Assam.
\\
They love their নাওঁ খেলা (Boat Races) on the River Brahmaputra, their life-giver and destroyer who not only nourishes and sustains their crops but also wreaks havoc on them every monsoon ripping through their very existence.
\\
Every August 15, they celebrate India's Independence by racing with their boats on the swollen waters of the River Brahmaputra, the flag of India held high - a country that has forgotten them and their very existence.

OUT NOW!! Mushrooms of the Gurung by Smoking Shiva - SOUNDS OF THE NEPAL UNDERGROUND # 1
\\
"Smoking Shiva" is a project of Bishal Gurung hailing from a little hilltop town called Kirtipur on the outskirts of Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. He is currently based in Darwin, Australia. Heavily into the dark side of the musical realm and exploring different dimensions of metal music, Bishal used to play with local Metal bands as a vocalist and guitarist during the late nineties.
~~
As the story goes, he had a lucid sonic hyper-dimensional meeting (read in his dream 😋) with Goa Gil and Ariane. After this, his whole life took on a new meaning and a newfound glory of living to the will of Existence. After his lucid meetings and cosmic dances with the ferocious dark deities in the mountains, riverbanks, and forests gatherings in Nepal, he got his showering of liquid ecstasy and visions for his project "Smoking Shiva"
~~
"I may not be your so-called technically Proficient DJ or producer but I believe my craft to be not that of practice but that of letting go and letting the spirit take over and merging the unconscious of my fellow humans with the void from where all life seems to manifest My belief is that regardless of the artist’s intentions while creating a track, each listener will hear a different story which resonates with their own life experiences. I draw inspiration from the weird sounds that we sometimes hear when we’re alone in the dark as well as the birds chirping away in the trees during a sunny day," says Bishal
\\
We are really excited about bringing to you the Sounds of the Nepal underground under our SOUNDS OF THE SOUTH ASIAN UNDERGROUND Series which will feature artists from Sri Lanka, Maldives, Nepal, Bhutan, and Pakistan.

Mastering: Swaroop Guhathakurta

The Gig Sessions of Kamakhya Records is a 4-day 'by invitation only, not-for-profit, and by donations only' private music and art retreat where artists on invitation travel to Assam in Northeast India, stay together at Paat Halodhiya Farm on the outskirts of Guwahati, share knowledge, stories, and tips, collaborate and make music and art together on the fly. It is a celebration of the NOW & the glory and folly of the human element in music and art with the intention of keeping it pure and real.
~~
The second edition of The Gig Sessions was a joint effort of Kamakhya Records, Paat Halodhiya Farm, Dream Crew and supporters from across India and the world who donated in cash and kind and bought the The Gig Sessions 1.0 album from our Bandcamp page.

Audio Samples **
Ojapali - a shamanistic folk dance and storytelling tradition of Assam - an ode to the feminine entity Manasa worshipped in Assam and Bengal.
** The audio samples were from Dr. Bishnu Saikia's research work - "Goa Trance - a convergence" - which was his doctorate thesis from Guwahati University. His research work touches upon the history and evolution of Goa Trance and its connection with shamanistic traditions with a special focus on the shamanistic traditions of Assam and Northeast India*

All proceeds from Bandcamp sales will go towards organising the third edition of The Gig Sessions sometime during the winter of 2023 at Paat Halodhiya Farm
