| Welcome
to Nepali Pop Hits, most popular songs from second
generation pop singers from 90's. Pop songs in
Nepal originated in mid 60s itself with singers
like Om Bikram Bista, Harish and even Kumar Basnet.
With expection of few notable songs, POP songs
(even called western music) couldn't make its
presence felt due to heavy dominance of modern
songs both by old and new generations of those
days.
It wasn't untill early 90's when Crossroad
made their debut with Naya Mode, the
second generation of Pop music amazingly rose
to its pinnacle. With Maya Meri Maya,
Sanjay
Shrestha and his band brought new wave in
the music industry. Following the bagdwon were
Sanjeep
Pradhan, Bhim
Tuladhar, Babin
Pradhan, Nepathya,
Deepak
Bajracharya and many more.

People were experimenting everthing,
from soulful blues, jazz, regge to current hip-hop.
Kaliprashad, well known lyricsit of Nepal quotes,
todays song do have catchy enough tunes but are
very low in content.
The
Year was 1993, the venue - The City hall. The
auditorium full of people - music nite '93 and
bands - from Om to Sanjay, everyone was there
rocking whole kathmandu.
The crowd echoed so much that the
well known folk singer Kumar Basnet
could not control himself and sung his 60s - rock
n roll twist - Deula Yo joban timi lai
nai. The song which was heavily criticized
during those days (60's) as influence of hippies
..., got the highest thumbs up in the concert.
Not only that, It became the most popluar song
in 1993 and was once agian recorded in 1993 by
the orignial singer.
