He pioneered many of the modern Nepali music genres by singing and composing songs of passion, tragedy, love, sacrifice (bhajan) and patriotism. He has produced music for about 1,200 Nepalese songs. He performed about three hundred songs himself. Shankar has been recognized with hundreds of national accolades for his contributions.
Shankar was recruited by Bal Krishna Sama, Nepal's pre-eminent playwright, to the service of the state-owned Radio Nepal in 1951. He was soon charged with discovering and coaching new musical talent as well as monitoring live recording of songs. He founded Radio Nepal, a Nepalese music and songs company, with his colleague Nati Kaji. All Nepale singers and musicians of the second half of the twentieth century came to fame thanks to this organization. Radio Nepal supported not only the country's musical talents, but also the lives of several popular musicians of Darjeeling (India). Amber Gurung, Gopal Yonzon, Aruna Lama, and others were among them.
Shiva Shankar composed music for several well-known Nepalese artists when working at Radio Nepal. Tara Devi (singer), Mira Rana, Nirmala Shrestha, Aruna Lama, Kunti Moktan, Narayan Gopal, Puspa Nepali, Prem Dhwoj Pradhan, Dhruba Raj, Deep Shrestha, Bacchu Kailash, Rubi Joshi, and Deepak Bajrachrachrachracharya were among the guests on the list, including Tara Devi (singer), Mira Devi (s He made music for popular lyricists such as Ram Man Trishit, Kiran Kharel, Bhabuk, Yadab Kharel, Yadab Kharel, Yadab Kharel, Laxman Lohani, and MBB Shah (Mahendra of Nepal). He appeared in Nepalese music for fifty years, helping them to be popular in what was dubbed the "Golden Age."
In addition to creating hit songs, he also tried to inventing Nepalese music. He demonstrated how folk songs performed with a few basic musical instruments could be enhanced by an ensemble of modern contemporary orchestra players. With the appearance of pop-style songs, which Shankar played a major part in starting, spurred the emergence of Nepalese pop songs in the present day. Despite pioneering changes and innovation, he still advocated for retaining Nepalese style's unique essence, ensuring that Nepalese songs are not dominated by foreign songs and music.
Shankar appeared in the film Aama (Mother), Nepal's first Nepali feature film produced in 1964 (2021 BS) by the Government of Nepal, in which Shankar played a "Lahure Dai" leading role. However, he did not pursue an acting career other than for a few cameo appearances in documentaries. Nonetheless, he composed music for several films in the early days of Nepal's film industry.
Early life
In Pako, Newroads of Kathmandu, Nepal, he was born to mother Ram Maya and father Man Bahadur on February 22, 1932 in a Manandhar household of the Newar family. Man Bahadur Manandhar, a volunteer music tutor, worked in the local community and taught classical Newari songs to the children. Shiva Shankar's musical aspirations were likely influenced by his father's community involvement. Unfortunately, his father died at a young age. Shankar completed his secondary school education but did not pursue any formal musical training until establishing himself as a singer and composer. He began a graduate course in Indian classical music at Kathmandu's Kalanidhi Sangeet College in 1974.
Personal life
He was married to Badri Kumari Manandhar at the age of 24 and had three children: Gauri Shankar, Rabi Shankar, and Shashi Shankar. None of them began with a career in music. Badri Kumari helped the family prosper by owning a family company. She died in September 1998.
Career
In May 1951 (2007 BS) he joined Radio Nepal and spent the next 42 years there. It was during his active creative years. He composed and performed hit songs for forty years. He worked with Ratna Recording Corporation from 1987 to 1991 (2043-2047 BS). In 1996 (202, BS), he retired from Radio Nepal.
His post-retirement period coincided with the emergence of commercialization in Nepalese music. He could not relate to commercialization's glamor and he disliked making commercial music. After retirement, he remained virtually silent, as with his contemporaneous colleagues in music. He was very sick with terminal stage liver cancer in 2004. He died on November 14, 2004.
