Bhutukkai Khutrukkai” is a lively and energetic song performed by Nirajan Kadel, brought to life through the lyrical collaboration of Sanjog Gautam and Bimal Sharma Kandel, with music composed by Gautam himself. The arrangement by Udayraj Poudel gives the track its rhythmic charm, while the vocal recording by Biplav Adhikari at Melody Nepal Studio captures Kadel’s expressive delivery. The audio receives its final polish through the mix and master by Shyamswet Rasaili at Prism Studio, supported by mixing assistant Kiran Bishwakarma.The music video features Saroj Rana Praja and Aava Thapa, with Manoj Joshi serving as H.O.P. and Sarita Magar handling makeup. Visually, the project benefits from drone work by Surya Lama, cinematography by Faraj Arpan, and operative camera work by @Bishalthapaofficial. The editing and color grading by Dinson Shah enhance the video’s vibrant tone, while Dawa Bal Tamang’s choreography adds dynamic movement to the narrative. The entire production comes together under the direction of Ganesh Shahi, creating a visually engaging and musically memorable presentation.

Miss Tara Bai – Singer (Disciple of Melawa Devi)A musical disciple of Melawa Devi, Miss Tara Bai recorded 2 songs in BS 1988 (AD 1931/1932). Although her personal background and song titles are not documented, she is remembered for carrying Melawa Devi’s vocal tradition into the early recording medium.

The band began its musical quest on January 2nd, 2003 playing live gigs in hotels and lounge bars. It was essentially an acoustic blues band before it kicked off as a rock outfit. Lead singer Abhaya Subba is the founder member and manager of the band, while Rinchen Palzar who now plays the lead guitar joined the band in early 2004. Nabin Lama on the guitar was discovered by Abhaya while she was judging a reality show, The Sprite band challenge and he joined the band in 2008. Birat Shrestha on the bass joined the band mid 2009 and so did Ajit Tamang as the drummer. Abhaya had always been featured in well known bands such as Parikrama, Red Skywalkers and Punchtatva but she was getting frustrated with the way most other bands underestimated her song writing skills. What she had been seeking for was a band that would let her express herself fully and have a similar vision. She formed the band in 2003 with younger musicians than her who seemed to be more accepting of her need to write songs and articulate her full potential as a musician. Their first self titled album, released in February 2005, surprised Nepal as they had never seen such a bold female singer ever. It went on to becoming a runaway success and the band managed to carve a niche amongst the youth of Nepal. With their groundbreaking second album, Nayan, hitting the Nepali charts in 2008 their songs managed to embrace a larger listenership that established the band as one of the best that Nepal has ever seen or heard. They have been nominated for several major music awards in Nepal and were awarded the honor of being the Number 1 band of Nepal by Radio Kantipur in 2009. They have performed extensively all over Nepal and are planning a US tour in the near future. They have been invited to major concerts in Hong Kong, Australia and India. Their best is yet to come. They are now in the process of recording their third album and are raring to push the benchmark and to make music a thinking, entertaining and steamy affair.
