Two things are not missing in Nepathya's concert - one is the song 'Rato and Chandrasurje' and the other is the Nepali national flag everywhere. While the concert was going on Saturday night in Petersburg's 'Roxin Theatre', another flag was also seen. It was the national flag of Bhutan with a white dragon on yellow and ocher.

After seeing the significant number of Bhutanese who have been rehabilitated in the hall, singer Amrit Gurung called from the stage - "The past should not be forgotten, but we must have the courage to forgive and move on". It is through this language that we connect the Nepalis spread all over the world. May this harmony always be maintained . The audience clapped for a while in response to the

.

The doors of the hall were opened at 8 o'clock in the evening according to the scheduled time for the audience scattered on Chartiers Avenue, and Amrit and his team appeared on the stage exactly one hour after that. The concert started with the song 'Koshiko Pani Yo Zindgani'. It was followed by 'Sheep's Wool' and 'Chekyo Chekyo'.

The excitement and excitement on both the stage and the audience seemed to be developing a kind of bond from the beginning .

Among the audience was 73-year-old Peggy Sterling . Peggy, who came to America from Germany at a young age, has a habit of attending different concerts. At an active age, she used to go to such musical gatherings with her husband.

'After my husband passed away 20 years ago, I continued that habit alone,' she said, 'after I found out that a band from Nepal was coming, I got information about Nepathya on Google and that's how I came to the hall today.' "Even if you don't understand the language, the atmosphere where everyone around you is having fun is what makes it fun," Peggy added, "and the language is not necessary when the tune and the environment are making the body vibrate."

Sabi Sivakoti narrated that her throat was dry while singing along with the band. She came to see the Nepathya concert for the first time with her sister, she said, 'When everyone was enjoying, she felt like dancing and singing too.'

Sabi, who was born in the Pathri camp of Morang, came to America at the age of four during the resettlement of a refugee family.

Singer Amrit mentioned that he was happy to see the lively presence of the Nepali-speaking community in the state of Pennsylvania, where there is a significant number of resettled Bhutanese refugees. Amrit also requested from the stage, "Let's expand this language to future generations."

A member of the organizing team of Saturday's concert was Vidya Pulami from a Bhutanese refugee family. Although her national identity is Bhutanese, she was saying that she is Nepalese.

``Though we came from exile, I love Bhutan equally,'' she said, ``That's why the flags I will carry in the program are from both Nepal and Bhutan.'' He also narrated that he used to collect songs when he reached the village on foot and prepared some songs for the fun there. The background pictures taken by him during the walk also seemed to support his statement .

Although it was the first concert in the American city of Petersburg, it was not the first experience for some of the audience. An example is Rajen Sapkota, who was born in Beldangi camp. Last year, he went to see a concert held in the nearby Pennsylvanian city of Harrisburg. Before that, he went to the city of Columbus further away and in 2016, he went to see the concert held in the city of Atlanta.
