Sangini

“Sangini" is an old folk song sung by Nepali women in expression of their innermost emotions. My mother recalls my grandmother singing and dancing to this song. We are singing this song today to honour her memory and would like to dedicate this song to all Nepali women on the occasion of International Women’s Day. - Aama Chhori

पुस्तौदेखि नेपाली महिलाहरुले गाउदै आएको यो लोकगीत "संगिनी" मेरो अजीले पनि गाउनु हुन्थ्यो रे र आज म आमासित गाउदै छु र सोच्दै छु नेपाली महिलाहरुको व्यथा र वेदनाहरु आज पनि त्यस्तै छैन र? अन्तरास्ट्रिय महिला दिवसको अवसरमा आधा आकाश र धर्ति ढाक्ने महिलाहरुलाई समर्पित गर्दै .. आमा र छोरी
