Riff Raff, a new band in nepali music field

Riff Raff (Pravakar on vocals, Keshab Subba on bass guitar, Sharad Thapa on drums, Satyam Rai on lead guitar, Sunil Pradhan on vocals and rhythm guitar and Aseem Lama on keyboard) is a band which was formed in Kurseong sometime during 1997. They had released their critically acclaimed debut album 'Anyolma' some two years back from Indreni Cassette Centre. Now, they are all geared up to take the music industry by storm with their second album -- 'Sammohan'.

They say, "We are in Kathmandu for the final mixing, mastering and to look for a music company who would be interested in releasing our album. The songs on it have flavors of rock pop and were recorded at Antara Recording Studio, Kurseong. One of the songs on it "Ridaya" speaks about Nepal and the rights of the people after loktantra. The rest talk about the environment of Nepal and the present situation here. Three music videos ("Kohilai Rijhauney", "Ridaya Bhari" and "Mero Maya") have already been made." They further inform us, "Initially, we only sang English numbers and slowly changed our track and started singing Nepali numbers as well. We are here to look at a wider market that Nepal can provide and hope for support and exposure in the Music industry of Nepal. We are hopeful that we shall be accepted by people here and we also believe that the media’s help now will go a long way in encouraging other Nepali musicians from across the border to set their foot in doing something worthwhile in the music field."
Well said!
