Ashirbad〔http://www.shivashankar.org〕 (Farewell to Bride) is an album of situational songs (concept album) describing emotional expressions of a bride and her relatives during marriage ceremony in Nepalese villages. ''Ashirbad'' literally translates as ''blessing'' in the Nepali language. After the wedding, the bride moves into her husband’s family, usually far away from her family and friends. Since marriage is arranged by the elders of the family, the bride is surrounded by unfamiliar people, in new relationship, and with new duties. It is a sad moment for the bride and her family. The parents, relatives and friends of the bride pray that God will bless her with all the fortune and the happiness of the world in her new home. The album was produced in 1970, at the eve of wedding of the crown prince Dipendra of Nepal. The lyrics were written by Laxman Lohani and the music was written by Shiva Shankar. The songs comprise contemporary modern styles blended with Nepalese folk tunes. The beautiful song 'Nausaya Khola' has an impression of Newari classic 'Malashri song' which is sung during the greatest festival "Dashain (Mohani)'.〔http://murchunga.net/Shiva_Shankar/〕 ==Tracklist== # Naudada naghdai – Shiva Shankar # Naughumti paridekhi – Tara Devi # Mata aba thuli bhaye – Nirmala Shrestha # Nani aba – Fatte Man # Barai maina – Tara Devi # Mata lajle – Nirmala Shrestha # Kukhurako siure – Fatte Man # Kehi nahosh - Shiva Shankar # Janmiyeko aganma – Tara Devi # Meri chori meri baba – Tara Devi # Nausaya khola – (Lyric by Yadab Kharel) Tara Devi 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ashirbad (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
