Herdsmans Flute Tune of Bajura
This tune is performed by the herdsmen of the far-western region of Nepal. In that region, herdsmen usually rear sheep and cows. Generally, they take their cattle to the meadows of highlands where there is plenty of grass for grazing. The weather of the highlands is snowy and foggy; hence, the herdsmen play this tune to cope with the weather.
