They are excited to bring Bipul Chettri, one of the most popular musicians amongst the Nepalese-speaking populace of the world. We are excited and overwhelmed from the positive response we have received from the community living in the Greater Bay area and the US as a whole. We have been selling tickets online, but since there has been a great demand for offline tickets as well; we are distributing physical tickets to various locations of the Bay area and beyond. We are positive that this will be a great concert as we are featuring one of the most versatile and talented personalities who is not only a singer, but a guitarist, songwriter, arranger, producer, composer and a music teacher as well. These are the qualities that distinguish him from most other artistes.
Bipul Chettri has successfully managed to blend contemporary sounds to Himalayan mountain folk music. His debut album, ‘Sketches of Darjeeling’ hit the market in 2014 and spread across the world like wildfire. This album became a top seller within 48 hours of its release on one of the biggest indie retail site in India while making him the Highest Selling Artiste on that portal for the year 2014-15, a feat very rare for a Nepali language album.
His unique compositions draw all kinds of crowds, from youngsters to adults, as his music not only breaks the generation gap but also the physical boundaries. He is from Kalimpong, a major educational town of Darjeeling where he studied and practiced music since childhood. His music reeks of the sounds of the hills and the mountains.
One of his interview he said about Blending folk with contemporary:
“I think the current generation has lost touch with the roots of our music, what with so much music being churned out in this modern digital world of ours. So I thought the best way to keep interest alive was to take this route where even the listeners could relate in some way.” Most of the listeners feel connection of nostalgia and the mountains in his music that is the key element to draw attention of large crowd from all levels of folks”
