Sapera Snake Charmers of North India

The mesmerizing sounds of the punga and the rhythms of the premtal create the music that accompanies the snake charming. This spectacle has captured the imaginations of Indians and wanderers from distant lands for centuries. Bonfi Records made live recordings of snake charmers on the eastern outskirts of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, in the large temple complex of Pashupatinath.
