Folk Lok @ Tahnani
Since 2019, Folk Lok has been working with Taḥnani Dāphā Khalaḥ (TDK), a Newa indigenous music group, in Taḥnani, Kirtipur. Dāphā is a genre of music distinct to the Newa community and has a history of over four hundred years of practice. We have supported the revival of TDK’s apprenticeship program, the creation of new dāphā songs, the archiving of dāphā practices, and hosted conferences and events on dāphā music.
