Kiran Nepali - "Making Sarangi cool again"

It's not only guitars that can attract big stage, big sound and big lights - Sarangi can too says Kiran Nepali. Nepali, who is also a Sarangi player for renowned bands like Kutumba and Bipul Chettri and the traveling band, is currently on a mission to increase interest towards the humble Nepali instrument. He also wants non Nepalis to know what a Sarangi is. Kiran Nepali has started a project to help achieve this goal and he spoke to SBS Nepali about his mission.
