BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - A Nepalese band took the stage for a planned concert in Boulder despite hearing the news that thousands of their countrymen had been killed by a natural disaster.
KCNC-TV in Denver reports (https://cbsloc.al/1OY3JEY) that the rock band played at the Glenn Miller auditorium on Sunday night and took the opportunity to raise money for their homeland following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that shook the country Saturday.
Band members told KCNC-TV that they arrived in the U.S. days before the earthquake and are eager to get home.
The band’s drummer said his family fears damage from aftershocks and has been sleeping outside under a tent.
He said he felt that god or another higher power sent the band to Boulder and felt they should play on.
