Echoes in the Valley is a music festival that aims to preserve, promote and witness the changes in diverse traditional performing arts from Kathmandu.
The festival strives to uncover, revive and make relevant Kathmandu’s intangible heritages and disappearing sounds by showcasing local music, art, and performances of everyday rituals. It will transform small neighbourhoods into grand stages for musical conversations between international and local artists.
The festival is organized by KANTA dAb dAb ‘s social initiative ‘Musicians for Musicians’ in collaboration with local community organizations.
