Sugam Pokhrel keeping Nepali music industry alive

I am very picky about what songs I listen to and often prefer not listening to Nepali songs. Simply because they are crap. The same sloppy instruments, same old cheesy, vomit inducing words. It is agonising.

The worst offenders are the lame ducks who remix old-time classics instead of coming up with new material. It infuriates me every time they do that. The only good nepali remix I have come across so far is "Jham Jham Istakot". The video is very entertaining and not offensive to women. The music remixed by Dj Tenzing is indeed very attractive and the song sung by Roj Moktan is worth every penny.

Most of the artists in general instigate me to smack them. The quality of their videos is embarrassing, the models they use could do with a bit of food and the songs are pretty much remakes of the previous crap they littered the earth with.

Sugam Pokhrel by a stark contrast has a strong vocal that is amazing to listen to. His lyrics carry a lot of weight, music is often catchy and he invents himself with every new album he releases. He is undoubtedly one of the best singers Nepal has produced.

Sugam Pokhrel's hit album Highway

His hits include "Mitho Hanso", "Kati Din", "Mero Sansar", "Mero Euta Sathi Cha" and the brand new "School Patshala". They are just fantastic to listen to and testament to Sugam Pokhrel's ability to keep the beat alive for the Nepali music industry.
