**Aruna Lama** (1945-1998), affectionately called the "Nightingale of Nepal," remains one of the most cherished voices in Nepali music history. Born in Darjeeling, India, to Nepali parents, she began singing as a child and became a cultural icon, blending folk melodies with modern Nepali pop. Her emotionally resonant voice brought life to timeless tracks like *Arule Haneko* and *Phoollai Sodhen*, often exploring themes of love, longing, and everyday struggles.
Even decades after her passing, her legacy thrives through releases like *Muna Madan Geeti Natak-I* (inspired by the classic Nepali tragic romance *Muna Madan*) and collections like *Aruna Antim Yatra* and *Aruna Lama Ka Sworharu-1*, which keep her music alive for new generations. Known for her humble demeanor and dedication to Nepali culture, Aruna’s work on soundtracks like *Harjeet* and her poetic folk ballads continue to soundtrack festivals, films, and heartfelt moments across Nepal and the Nepali diaspora. 🎶
