nepali dance-Tamang selo
by mantru
Tamang Selo
Tamangs are a Nepali community and the "Tamang Selo" dance is performed to the rhythmic sound of the "Damphoo" musical instrument which the dancers carry in their hands. This dance is therefore also called the "Damphoo Dance". It is always full of fun and vigor and the brisk movement and rhythmic beat of the Dampoo depicts a style peculiar to the Tamangs. It is performed on occasions like marriage ceremony, childbirth and village fairs.
Tamang Selo is a very sweet and enchanting variety of folk songs. Originally sung by Tamang but favoured by all.As the name suggests this folk song Tamang Selo was originated by Tamang who inhabit the hills . The beat and rhythm is slow but the melody is enchanting. Specially used for expression of love, passion and sorrow, Tamang Selo is also sung as question & answer between two competing groups of singers.
This variety is known to Nepali music from the earliest times and hence its date of origin cannot be definitely answered.
When Nepali folk songs are sung in gathering of singers, Tamang Selo is sung to conclude the ceremony.
Darjeeling, walk to the north point.

Rounding the north point - visits and stops included- takes a short day.
To path to the north point is easygoing along the slope. The green big ferns are amazing.
At the north point is a rope way, but it looks not very safe to us.
We visit the Snowleopard Breeding Centre (a adult and two kids), the Mountaineering Institute with two musea (a lot of pictures and history of attempts to reach the top of the Mount Everest) and the Zoo (we don't like the rather small cages).
