SUKARMA
(Redefining Nepali Folk and Classical Music)

Formed in 1997, Sukarma is Nepal's most sought-after folk-classical outfit comprised of three talented instrumentalists. In the words of Professor Abhi Subedi "the musicians of Sukarma are the walking museum." The commonality among the instrumentalists of this musical group is that they belong to the illustrious gharana (home) of music who have been playing for generations.

Sukarma, as the word refers to as "good deeds" upholds a two-fold philosophy. Firstly, the musicians devote themselves to the music by celebrating it as a symbol of their Sukarma. And secondly, they endeavour to instill the classical music in the young generations by playing raga and indigenous folk music. However, the group remaining faithful to the spirit of music is always keen and open to innovation and experimentations.

The group has traveled far and wide winning the hearts of countless music lovers. The trio has traveled to the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Japan and Kyrgyzstan besides many parts of the world.

The group has over ten audio and visual CDs to its credit.
