Sugam Pokharel, a popular pop artist himself, brings listeners
of Sagarmatha the latest in pop Nepali music every day.
The idea behind this show is to promote
the new generation of Nepali singers and musicians as well as to
position Radio Sagarmatha as a station for the young. One of the
criticisms that Radio Sagarmath has encountered over time is that
it has not great appeal with the youth. Naya Pusta
is at present among the most popular music programs in Nepal and
as such has drawn young people to listen to the station. It broadcasts
mainly pop Nepali music, which has become main stream in the last
year, and other Purbeli pop, the name given to Eastern pop from
the South Asian region.
The show interspaces music with commentary.
An interview with a popular artist is broadcasted on the Saturday
show. |
