Changku Samney Mayong | Manang Folk Song |Changshey | Karma Tseten

This is an old traditional folk song from Manang region of Nepal sung by the Manangi (Nyeshang) people . Most of the traditional songs and dances of Manang were passed down by the Tibetans when they left Tibet during the time of war and later were passed down generation to generation in Manang. In present, we do not get to hear these songs due to cultural changes in society and migration of the people in foreign countries. A lot of gap between the old and younger generation has created a loss of interest in our own cultural and traditional songs. My step towards making an old cultural folk song like this, is to bring back the lost and forgotten songs of Manang and to create awareness among younger generation to kindly not lose interest in one's own identity while we also move ahead with time. I hope that my work helps preserve the Nyeshang cultural songs so that the future generation too can learn from them. I also hope to create more such songs in the future and would be grateful for more sponsors for such projects.
