Sherpa Traditional Song / Khumbu Serki Pata By Sonam J Sherpa

This video showcases a revered Sherpa step dance known as Shapdro, a cultural gem deeply rooted in the Khumbu region's heritage. In crafting this presentation, my intention is to provide a accessible platform for the younger Sherpa generation to familiarize themselves with the rich traditions of their cultural dance and song. Enclosed below are the lyrical verses of this esteemed composition. It is noteworthy that the tempo in this rendition has been subtly adjusted for a more conducive stage performance, aligning with the formal ambiance typical of such presentations, in contrast to the more relaxed pace traditionally observed during informal gatherings. Your appreciation of this endeavor is sincerely valued.
Thank You
