The Review: Kathmandu March 2 2003: "The Himalayan Blues, comprising the renowned Nepal classical ban Vajra and The Funky Homosapiens, the A listed musicians of Norway performed a free concert today at the premises of the historical place of Patan Durbar Square....The fusion of classical and traditional Nepali music from Vajra with the music of the Funky Homosapiens spell bound the silent crowd by playing touch and melodious music. Even the flocks of pigeon's attention were drawn by the magic of the fusion. The music mainly composed from popular Newari songsl like 'Byanchuli' and 'Aa Buya chuya daicha ji jaka man chona" swinged an old man of 80s which was the main attraction of the concert...."
