A quick Question from AbhayaSubba Weise : Does this mean that people will actually buy Nepali albums instead of looking for free downloads? Will people come for concerts and pay for tickets? Does this mean that we as musicians will be united and not at odds with each other?

Adeel Manandhar : What do you guys Answer for This??

It is quite hard to say about this fact.. but we have got to put it together... and try for new changes..... and Senior bands and a good bands like Abhaya and the Steam Injuns ... should make their first step to show the way to others........

Adeel Manandhar

Being a Customer it is a hard fact that 'People pay money for free downloads that they can get'. The product of the song is a sole property of The Artist. There is no right with others to pirate the MP3's and videos. For this my suggestion ...for all the artist is to get united and Fight for your Rights. And we the Listeners are always here to promote our Mother music. If you give us the systematic way we will go systematic too buying the CD's and adding hits to your sale and promotion.

It is obvious for Nepali band to raise this type of question... but lets not just always make it our excuse....kei na kei ta garnu paryo ni ... now I know that convincing and explaining people and bring people towards this field is a very hard thing to do... beholding this ugly truth... need to do something ... :)

My answer: It is obvious that sittai ma payo bhane kina paisa tirne? We are getting the songs for free than why should we pay money. I dont mean that I will not pay money for the album if I am passionate with the artist and their songs.. I ...have been to the concerts too but what I see is event managers are not going for the crowd satisfaction but the self profit only. how come in this situation we help promote the Nepali Songs??

Adeel Manandhar ‎:

Baucha Blues I really appreciate your example of Bryan concert.. If you look for the crowd than there is a crowd to support the music scene!

Baucha Blues

The job of musicians in the international mainstream is mainly to create a song then perform it later on. but from what i have seen in Nepal musicians have to do most of their part starting from the recording of their songs, well most of th...e bands try to record, mix and master their song themselves, but without a qualified producer and record engineer no doubt the song is going to sound like shit, unless u got the art of producing a great song by yourself. and another thing in most of the shows there are just too many bands performing. the problem is the same thing without a good engineer u cant get a band to sound right just miraculously, even international bands spend a hell lot of time for sound check, just to make sure all the sounds great. so just like business unless u dont offer your costumers a good product, they wont pay a penny. the same rule applies here. that is why the fan base of nepali rock songs is so low. coz unlike other pop singers their whole song cant be recorded by a keyboard. and they cant just sing in tracks.

Adeel Manandhar

Thank you Gaurav Sitaula and AbhayaSubba Weise for your opinion/experience on the present condition of Nepali Music Scenario. Now when coming to the point of the sound quality produced with the final output of the song after mastering is not a big deal in some cases. I really do think that the sound quality is the most important thing that the nepali musicians are lacking with. Not only the case of Live bands but also many case of track singers too. I mean there are many old Nepali songs that did not need quality to their product but the power was with the 'origin of the song'. Those songs had a technical parts too but also within the song itself it was powerful. Here comes the same question with the Live Concerts too. We did not had any special lights before decades but still when going into the true scene of music listener, it is praised that Old Songs are far more better than the upcoming new songs and live concerts within the youth. I do feel the same way sometimes, but still if there is a will there is a way. :)

AbhayaSubba Weise

Gaurav,this is not support. This is criticism. I do understand that u know no better. And let me assure u, Mukti da's, 1974 ad, Robin dai's album doesn't sound like shit. Support...didn't u READ, the name of the page? Not CRITICISE. All said n done,i totally support new and upcoming musicians. Supporting music means encouraging artistes not bringing them down,which is true crab mentality. I rest my case.

Rannt Bastarrd:

now I don't agree with that. you can not predict if or not they're in a band. who knows?? they might have beein struggling to get to the mainstream scene.

Baucha Blues

I totally agree with U Abhaya DD but I'm not talkin' about the technical parts... we can't compare dollar with rupees.. but i'm talkin about the support that the event got at that time from different sectors like media,business houses etc...... Why can't Nepali artists get that support... N' why those organisers don't take initiative to organise such kinda' event for nepali artistes??? Hats off to u dd for promoting new comers...i'm talkin' 'bout SBC ...it really rocks...

Adeel Manandhar

Just Checked out Gaurav Sitaula's profile and found with his original and cover songs with the Bands. He seems to have intellecualism with the music things in youtube too :).Anyways it's not about the discussion showing each others mistake...s. Both are right in their own ways and we need to start respecting the views too. AbhayaSubba Weise, We are here to promote you and want to share some views of listeners too directly to the Artist. This is a discussion with the Promotion steps that every Artists,Composers, Arrangers, Studios, Companies and the Local Listeners can take to Promote the Scene. So all have their equal part within themselves equally. If even a single chain is broken there is no other way out.

Gaurav Sitaula

Ms. Weise I wasnt trying to criticize anyone or anything. I was just trying to point out that quality is really the issue in most cases. Nepalese people choose english and indian movies over nepali movies just because of quality. also major...ity of people from nepal are also listening to songs in foreign language. i was just suggesting this so that the scene could get stronger with more audiences. and again please don't take this as a criticism rather take this as a fact. i have known people who stopped listening to nepali songs completely after they were introduced to songs from band like metallica and guns n roses. not implying that you need to sound like them, im just trying to say the records that are made in nepal today donot sound nowhere close to those records of gnr made 20 years ago. and that would be something for musicians to think about. :)

AbhayaSubba Weise

Forget it! I didn't mean to get into a full blown discussion that doesn't make any difference to the music scenario in nepal. I'll let our music and performance speak for itself.Slam,dunk- if anybody wants any help with their music,promotion...production - i am at ur humble service.

Prabita Tamang

I really liked the discussion above. With discussions one can come into very good conclusions. Sorry to say Abhaya DD but I do think that these things matters in Promotion of Nepali Music. Every listeners and Artists have their direct and indirect role to play with the promotion of Nepali Songs equally. If there is no conversation between them than there is less possibility of the systematic Promotion. So Let's Be Connected to Promote the Nepali Music together with every sectors we could. Keep Rocking mates!!

‎Adeel, I'm listening song of Gaurav and he is doing good from his part.

This group helped me listen song by him and obviously thanks to supporters of Nepali Music.

I liked AbhayaSubba when she said

"I'll let our music and performance speak for itself.Slam,dunk- if anybody wants any help with their music,promotion...production - i am at ur humble service."

@Bucha, you too help me too to listen Gaurav and his work.

This is my new post here but I was listening the discussion without any sound. The hot and rapid FB-Notifications of this group attracted me here. Maybe all the group member are doing the same.. listening silently.

ahh.... I felt good to post one supportive post here.

Gaurav Sitaula

thanks anup, and also i wasnt trying to pose as a hater of nepali music, i happen to be a student in the field of sound engineering and i was expressing my thoughts in my perspective, i have been doing my music on my own way since a long time, and i do realize the fact i am no where close to where Ms. Weise is. but i still dont get the crab mentality thing, did she even read my post or not? forget it guys im out of here. sorry for making this stuff so personal.

Ja'gyür Rigtsal

I think that you could have free download and the get an audience and then you could have a concert and make money from that ...

AbhayaSubba Weise

Why,oh why do we have the tendency to appreciate only the things that are dead or musicians who won't walk out of their graves. For me, SUPPORT means giving the devil their due while they are around. Here are a few contemporary musicians who have pushed the envelope. Robin Tamang for his social commentary and breaking taboos,Axe band for having a sexy guitarist,1974 ad for their amazing folk rock sound,Aastha Tamang Maskey for showing our industry that not only is she a singer par excellence but that dudette can play a mean guitar, Jindabaad for an excellent vdo,Shadows for stepping out of chitwan and rocking us,Cadenza for making jazz popular in ktm n playing gr8 music to boot, Black out and G9 for their freshness,Nima Rumba for his awesome performances, Sabin Rai for his songs with THE voice that drives us all wild,Ciney Gurung for her beautiful stirring voice,Nepathya for doing it differently...they are all path breakers. The only question is,do u want to appreciate them now or 20 years from now.
