I was first introduced to western music by my cousins who used to stay at our house. It was the late ’80s, and they often listened to Wham! — the first English song I remember learning to sing was “Last Christmas.”
When they returned to their hometown, my exposure to western music faded too. We didn’t have a tape recorder for many years, so the only time I could hear English songs was on Saturdays when Radio Nepal played a few during the day. Later, Nepal Television aired a show called Sunday Pop, hosted by Mr. Bhusan Dahal. That show became a regular part of my week. In fact, before I ever heard the name Queen, it was on this show that I learned Freddie Mercury had passed away.
