Kathmandu. 40-degree heat. The hall had AC, but it was not working properly due to the overwhelming crowd. Kuma Sagar was perspiring and singing –
Oh, if you want to go, go
Oh, don't be so sad anymore
Oh, I felt so happy today after seeing your move
When he had just started performing in his own style with the band on stage, the fans started booing him loudly. Kuma Sagar and the Khop Band gave a powerful performance in front of more than 4,000 viewers at the Al Nasr Leisureland hall in Dubai, UAE on Sunday evening.
Kuma Sagar resonated in Dubai for the first time in this performance of Gorkha Sanj Season 3. Even though it was his first performance in Dubai, his fans had come to watch the program in the scorching heat.
During his performance, Kuma mesmerized the audience by singing Nepali music and melodies including Hawako Lahar, O Champa, and Chameliko Phool. The audience continued to support Kuma and his band as they performed.
During the performance, Kuma Sagar mentioned that he was suffering from the heat during his 2-day stay in Dubai and said that he wanted to honor the Nepalis who have been sweating for many years for their livelihood. He also spoke emotionally, saying that it is the Nepali's obligation to sweat for passion and happiness. Similarly, he repeatedly reiterated that he is committed to the rebirth of Newa culture through music.
During the performance, Kuma was supported by the band's artists Sharad Deula, Roshan Bajracharya, Suman Gaida, Prabin Lakhu, Roshik Jadhari, Aman Mali, BK Prajapati, Roz Maharjan, and Ramsundar Dhusu.
Before Kuma, dancer Mamta Rana Magar and folk duo singer Mohan Khadka gave their performances. Similarly, the Kandara Band, which is active in Dubai, also provided great entertainment.
Program coordinator Bhim Malla Thakuri informed that the program was held more grandly than the previous edition and thanked all the stakeholders who supported it. Program co-coordinator Anil Gurung said that they were more excited by the support of the Nepali community on Sunday's program.
The program was attended by Nepali Ambassador to the UAE Tej Bahadur Chhetri, NRNA UAE President Bikash Shahi, NRNA ICC Vice President Manoj Gorkhali, as well as representatives of various organizations.
