Growing up Christian and Nepali: negotiating belonging through music inside and outside the Church in Nepal

Recent research on Christians in Nepal challenges instrumentalist readings of conversion by focusing on the conversion narratives of Christian Nepalis. Yet some Christian Nepalis identify as second- or third-generation Christians – born and raised in Christian households – whose experiences with the...

Yet some Christian Nepalis identify as second- or third-generation Christians – born and raised in Christian households – whose experiences with their faith and relation to Nepal’s religious landscape significantly differs from those of first-generation Christians. These second-generation Christian Nepalis increasingly fill leadership positions within their churches, including musical ones. This article shows how musical practices link generations of Christian Nepalis and allow young people to claim cultural belonging both inside and outside the Church through choices in musical style. Through ethnographic detail, I demonstrate how Christian youths are catalysts for changes to church music practices and publicly link Christianity to Nepal’s various subcultures through musical sound. Christian Nepali youths’ musical activities both negotiate cultural changes within Nepal’s Christian community and demonstrate belonging to Nepal’s wider society. Des recherches récentes sur les chrétiens du Népal remettent en question les lectures instrumentalistes de la conversion en se concentrant sur les récits des convertis. Pourtant, certains chrétiens Népalais s'identifient comme des chrétiens de deuxième ou troisième génération - nés et élevés dans des familles chrétiennes - dont les expériences quant à la foi et les relations au paysage religieux du Népal diffèrent considérablement de celles des chrétiens de première génération. Ces chrétiens népalais de la deuxième génération occupent de plus en plus de postes de direction au sein de leurs églises, y compris dans le domaine musical. Cet article montre comment les pratiques musicales relient les générations de chrétiens népalais et permettent aux jeunes de revendiquer une appartenance culturelle à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de l'Église, notamment par leurs choix de styles musicaux. Grâce à une ethnographie minutieuse, je montre comment les jeunes chrétiens sont les catalyseurs des changements des pratiques musicales de l'église et comment ils font le lien entre le christianisme et les diverses sous-cultures népalaises grâce à la musique. Les activités musicales des jeunes chrétiens népalais permettent à la fois d’initier des changements culturels au sein de la communauté chrétienne du Népal et de démontrer leur appartenance à la société népalaise au sens large.
