| - Ram Prasad Khanal (Nepali: रामप्रसाद खनाल) is a Nepalese musician, distinguished class singer, and folk-music activist. He has worked for the growth and development of Nepali folk music for decades. He is an author, journalist, artist, actor, composer, and radio and TV program producer, director and presenter. He serves as President of the International Artists Forum. He has mainly been known for his Nepali folk and duet songs and his activism in the field of folk music. Khanal moved to the United States of America a decade ago and has been living there with his family since then. In the US, he is involved in different business activities. He started a program titled Lok Dohori, based on folk duet songs, on Nepal Television in 1998, which considerably promoted his fame in the field. This program not only popularized the Nepali folk and duet songs, but it also contributed profoundly to the renaissance of Nepali folk music. The folk movement that this program pushed throughout the country created a conducive environment in which many folk singers were born. Though he is living in the US with a green card granted to him in the Extraordinary Ability EB-1 visa category, he is still contributing to Nepali folk songs, duet songs, folk culture, and Nepali language and literature from overseas. Khanal, who has worked to promoted Nepali folk music and establish it in the international arena, has had seventeen poetry anthologies and ghazals published. While he has released forty-eight albums of Nepali folk music, he also has more than one thousand two hundred lyrics published and broadcast. He has been awarded the Prabal Gorakha Dakshina Bahu, one of the most prestigious Nepali national awards granted to civilians, for his exceptional contribution to Nepali folk music, duet songs and the entire field of Nepali music by the government of Nepal. He was also awarded the Trishakti Patta, another highly recognized Nepali national award, for his significant contributions in the field of journalism. Along with this, he has also been granted more than four hundred awards and prizes in Nepal and beyond. One of the significant of them is 'Man of the Year 2004 for Nepal International Award that was awarded to him by the American Biographical Institute (ABI). He has published 17 books and two anthologies of poems, Desh Harayako Manchhe (The Man Who has Lost the Nation) and Murdaharuko Basti (Domain of the Dead). He has also published autobiographies entitled Teeta Mitha Anubhutiharu (Feelings, Sweet and Sour) and Gulmi Dekhi America Samma (From Gulmi to the United States). (en)
