Pokhara-based band 'Buffins 98' releases anthem capturing Gen Z's call for change

Kathmandu. The Pokhara-based musical group 'Buffins 98' has released its new musical offering, 'Hamro Aawaz-Naya Nepal', capturing the movement and rebellion of the Gen Z generation. The song's video attempts to vividly present the powerful voices and street protests raised by youth across the country for change on 2082 Bhadra 23.

The song centers on the stories of young people who have taken to the streets to protest government actions, including rising corruption, control over freedom of expression, and restrictions on social media.

Written and sung by Sanjeev Gurung, the song calls on the youth to return to their own soil and engage in nation-building. Having previously delivered dozens of timeless patriotic and socially conscious songs such as 'Hamro Desh Nepal', 'Ma Mare Pani', 'Rundai Chha Karnali Bhumi', 'Jab Ghamko Pahilo Jhulka', and 'Barbari Aansu', the group has once again highlighted the necessity of national change through musical melody. The music arrangement was jointly done by singer Gurung and Suman Tamang, while the sound mixing was handled by Suman Tamang at Apostle Recording Studio in Pokhara.

The music video incorporates the youth surge seen in the movement, the solidarity expressed by various artists through their art, and the labor and lifestyles of ordinary Nepalis from the Himalayas, hills, and Terai.
