Resham Firiri (Template:Lang-ne) is a traditional Nepali folk song, composed by Buddhi Pariyar and originally performed by Sunder Shrestha and Dwarika Lal Joshi in 1969. Due to sudden rise in popularity, it became one of the most widely known and performed songs in Nepal. It is often played on the sarangi, a native instrument, as street music.[1][2][3][4]
Origin
Resham Firiri was collected in the villages of Pokhara by Buddhi Pariyar and was recorded in Nepalese radio Radio Nepal. Buddhi Pariyar gave the lyrics to popular Nepalese singers Sunder Shrestha and Dwarika Lal Joshi who were the most popular singers then, and released in Nepal in 1970 Nepalese local radios, it became a hit song.
