Description: Traveling minstrel (git gaini). These men go from town to town singing songs that describe important happenings in the nation. At this time the most prevalent song was: "Hamro Tenzing Sherpale, Charyo Himala Chu chura" (Our Tenzing Sherpa has climbed to the top of Himalaya). Actually that event occurred in the early 1950s, but was still news more than a decade later.
