Pahelo Batti Muni

Pahenlo Batti Muni is a Nepali experimental rock group that was founded in Kathmandu in October 2015. Pahenlo Batti Muni uses lyrics and music to try to make sense of the worlds outside of themselves and within of themselves. The group consisted of Rochak Dahal (guitar), Bikram Bashyal (guitar), Kus KC (bass), Lav Jung Chhetri (drums), and Pravesh Thapa Magar (guitar) (Vocal). Bikram Bashyal had to leave the group in October 2019 to pursue his career elsewhere. Vocalist Rochak Dahal and guitarist Pravesh Thapa Magar frequently jammed in front of the yellow light of the candle when the band was just starting to take shape because they were both raised in Nepal during decades of darkness when daily power shortages had become a forced way of life.
