Here are some of the highlights of the event:
This music festival was told to be grand in the history of Nepali music by the organizers.
First, there weren’t many listeners. The area looked empty during the concert. The singers were also disappointed by the small number of people in the audience. Apart from less ticket sales, one another reason for the small crowd size is the relative size of Tundikhel area. I think, it is a huge area, only suitable for political meets where people can come and ‘have fun’ for free.
Participants from seven different countries were present in the competition held in Overtoom 141, 1054 HG, Amsterdam.
