Sting In Nepal

Sting the vocalist and the world’s top bassist was here in Nepal sometimes back. People did not recognize him until the boss of a local pub cum jamming station got him. There is a place called “Upstairs” which is known to be the birthplace of Jazz in Nepal, where the band called “Cadenza” performs. Everyone around the Upstairs was pretty excited about having Sting to jam up. They approached him but Sting told them that he won’t perform as he was here for a holiday. Depressed were the guys and gave him a cd which had their songs to Sting just to give an ear. As soon as he heard it he was kinda shocked and agreed to jam up with the cadenza. One night they jammed up at the Upstairs, no commercialization was done and no extra ordinary gatherings were made. They just did it for fun. The local newspaper covered a photo of Sting singing the next day on the front page. Everyone was like “Wow, was Sting really here?”. Sting left a comment on the jam up by saying that he never knew there could be such talented musicians in an around Nepal which is just famous for trekking or rafting.
