Manose

Born to a family of traders and shopkeepers, Nepal native Manose found himself drawn to the bamboo flute as a young boy. His fascination with the rich sound of this instrument quickly developed into true devotion; by the age of seventeen he was already deep into the demanding study of classical South Asian music and had begun to take on students of his own. Now, at the age of twenty-five, he is considered one of the most noteworthy new faces on the world music scene, and his talent as a solo performer, as well as his versatility in a variety of genres, has carried him through Asia, Europe, and the United States.

Manosee is widely recognized as the Nepal's premiere flautist, is the recipient of national awards including instrumentalist of the year, and appears regularly on Nepali T.V. and radio. He has been a music teacher for the University of Wisconsin's College Year in Nepal program, and Naropa Institute's Nepal program since 1995. Several of his CDs have been released in the United States as well as in Nepal.

Manose and Anton Mizerak have been recording and touring together since 1997. Their CD When Angels Dream has been a top seller with massage therapists. In 1997, he appeared with Peter Rowan at California's Strawberry Festival. In 2001 he toured France where he performed at the Sorbonne University in Paris. In 2002, Manose performed on the West Coast of the United States as a solo artist, with Peter Rowan, with Anton Mizerak and Richard Hardy. Back in Asia in the same year, he took part in a festival of traditional music in Malaysia, and in Nepal's first ever jazz festival. Currently he is touring the US with Nepal's top pop band, 1974AD. Manose also records and tours with Jai Uttal and Deva Premal.
