Khaam songs: Echoes of Magar Khaam Music with Tilak Roka Magar

In this special episode, we welcome Tilak Roka Magar, a passionate guardian of Magar Khaam folk music, stories, and shamanic traditions. Speaking in Magar Khaam (Mirule & Kyansil dialects), he takes us on a journey through the making of ‘Jemi Maya’—the first-ever Magar Khaam audio album and his unwavering mission to record and preserve the vanishing folklores and melodies of his ancestors. We also explore his life as a medical worker in the remote villages of Rukum, Rolpa, and Baglung, where he has dedicated himself to both healing and cultural preservation. Join us as we celebrate the soulful rhythms of Khaam Sili—the heartbeat of Magar heritage.
