Sarangi – the Nepali Musical Instrument

Sarangi is a stringed instrument played by traditional ‘Gaine’ or ‘Gandarbha’ community of Nepal. The  Indo-Aryan ethnic group mainly from central hilly region of Nepal makes a living by singing a type of folk song and narrative tales commonly known as ‘Gaine Geet’ or ‘Gandarva Geet’.

It is believed that Sarangi originated from Nepal. The simplistic design of the instrument made it easy to be manufactured and maintained locally. It is sad that search of sarangi in the internet lands us to Indian musical instrument which is quite different from the Nepali version. Encyclopedias and dictionaries like Britannica, Wikipedia (there is a page for Nepali sarangi however), Farlex, and Oxford Dictionary don’t mention Nepali Sarangi at all.

Unlike Classical Indian Sarangi, it has four strings and all of them are played. The neck and body of the instrument are made from a single piece of light wood, locally known as Khirro. The body is carved into a hollow frame with two openings. The lower opening is then covered up with dried sheep-skin. Traditionally the fine nerves from sheep’s intestine were woven to get the strings. Horse-tail hair was originally used for the bow string of the Sarangi. These days nylon strings are preferred to the sheep nerves and horse-tail hair. The instrument is placed vertically on the left knee, suspended in front of the body by means of a cord around the left shoulder, and is played with a bow.

Indian sexy dances

These videos are created just to show-off the dancer’s body. I would prefer to say that they are nonsense dances.

Although there is no nudity, it might be interesting to see the suggestive body shaking.

Paris Hilton in Jail – Comedy Song

After a traumatic three-week stay in prison, Paris Hilton was finally released from jail at the stroke of midnight. The 26-year old celebrity quietly walked out of the all-women’s jail in Lynwood, LA and headed towards her Hollywood Hills home.

That was one news.

……The self-made celebrity was swamped by reporters as she left Century Regional detention facility in Lynwood shortly after midnight (8am BST).

Hilton was greeted by her parents, Kathy and Rick, and the family sped off in a black 4×4 after a smiling Paris waved at waiting photographers. ……

And another news.

Well, there is funny side of it too. I found a funny music video on this context prepared by Allan Murray and Sean Haines. Enjoy the comedy and sexy music video.
