Timeline

1939

Narayan Gopal Guruacharya (नारायणगोपाल गुरबाचार्य) (4 October 1939 – 5 December 1990), known professionally as Narayan Gopal and N. Gopal was a prominent popular singer and composer of Nepali music.

Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons in Nepal, he is referred to as "Swar Samrat" (Nepali: स्वर सम्राट, meaning: Emperor of Voice) in Nepal.

He also sang in Nepal Bhasa.

Owing to his vocal range he was capable of singing songs of every Nepalese genre.

Often, his songs were accompanied by the sitar, harmonium and flute.

1940

His first public musical performance was during the 40th anniversary celebration of Tri Chandra College, where he played the role of a tabla player.

By that time Prem-Manik duo had started to sing their own compositions.

Following suit, Narayan Gopal composed six original songs written by the contemporary poet Ratna Shumsher Thapa.

In that collection four of the songs were for solo vocal ('स्वर्गकी रानी', 'आँखाको भाखा आँखैले', 'भो भो मलाई नछेक', 'मधुमासमा यो दिल') and two were for duet ('बिछोडको पीडा' र 'ए कान्छा ठट्टैमा यो बैंश जानलाग्यो').

All these songs were eventually recorded in Kolkata, India, while he was in that country for his studies.

These songs started to attract attention within Nepal and India.

Nepal at the time had recently been liberated from Rana rule.

Midst this wave of social and political changes, Narayan Gopal was able to lend his voice to songs related to love, life, hope, and patriotism.

While the east–west highway was under construction, he recorded ‘जाग, जाग चम्क हे नौजवान हो,’ whereas in the fervor of patriotism ‘आमा !

तिमीलाई जलभरिका औंलाहरुले चुम्न’.

Such songs made him popular among the youths of Nepal.

His songs further evolved as he became more selective of songs with the right combination of words, music, and emotions.

Along with his contemporaries such as Pushpa Nepali, Bacchu Kailash, Tara Devi, Amber Gurung, Prem Dhoj Pradhan, Nati Kaji, Shiva Shankar, Kiran Pradhan he added a new dimension to modern Nepali music.

To broaden his style, he started to hold discussions with his admirers, his competitors, and his critics.

1950

He was also a music director from the 1950s to the 70s and belongs to the first generation of professional Nepali singers.

His songs have been showcased in several movies and dramas across the country.

Narayan Gopal released 137 songs during his lifetime, his first songs were composed by his friends Prem Dhoj Pradhan and Manik Ratna.

Gopal was one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century and received many awards during his lifetime.

1965

It was in this process of development that he visited Darjeeling, India, in March 1965.

The visit was fruitful for two reasons: there he met his long-time fan and future wife, Pemala Lama.

He also met another young musician Gopal Yonzon, with whom he formed a close friendship as mitjyus, in part because both had Gopal as their names.

1971

Later he joined the Rashtriya Naach Ghar (National Dance Theater) and rose to the post of manager (hakim).

He wrote a musical drama titled Kanchi Masyang (कान्छी मस्याङ)'.

The potential of his vocal talent was first recognized by his friend "Manik Ratna Sthapit", who lived in the neighboring Pyukha Tole, and Prem Dhoj Pradhan, who lived in Bheda Singh Tole.

The three friends would practice singing Hindi songs together at Manik Ratna's house, which had become a de facto music school since his uncle, Siddhi Ratna Sthapit, was an accomplished instrumentalist.

After Gopal completed his SLC exams, Prem Dhoj Pradhan took him to Radio Nepal for a voice test.

There, Gopal sang "Panchi ko pankha ma dharti ko diyo," a song written by Dr. Ram Man Trishit and composed by Prem Dhoj Pradhan himself.
