| Nepal, the only Hindu Kingdom in the world and the birthplace of lord Buddha, is well known for having the highest mountain in the world--Mt. Everest. Music has never been on Nepal's map, instead this once-peaceful kingdom garners more headlines these days because of her internal chaos and political crisis.
Andazification is Robin, Buddha, and Anand--a Californian trio all originally from Nepal. Andazification is trying to galvanize a cultural evolution and awareness to modern Nepali music by distillingcreative energy and colloquial language and filtering it into the Nepali music scene.
Each member had a different musical upbringing that has morphed this album into a multi-facet of genres ranging form pop rock to hip-hop! The debut album JPT (an acronym for "Jei pai tei" meaning "whatever" in Nepal) is a stab at their generation and the attitudes that are permeating Nepal's identity crisis. You will never hear a more explosive, creative, and honest album in Nepali then this! |
