Kathmandu. The country’s leading musical group ‘Kandara’, which is holding a concert with the slogan ‘Rhythm of Change’, is going to perform on Friday. The band is ready to play at Club Nova in Chaksibari, Thamel from 10 pm onwards.
This concert will be different in one sense for the band and the audience. Lead vocalist Vivek Shrestha will perform with ‘real hair looks’. The audience always saw her in her hair with a ‘wig’.
For the first time in the band’s 3-decade-long career, Vivek is about to appear in his real avatar. Before the concert, Vivek also informed the fans about this. For a few days, he was constantly sharing photos and videos about this on social media.
Why a concert without a ‘wig’? Singer Shrestha sounded a bit philosophical when asked by Online Khabar.
We are going to present this concert as ‘R&R’. When you hide something, it becomes difficult to breathe. When you are free you don’t fool yourself. Everything looks fine on the outside, but on the inside it looks like it’s a fake,” he said.
He said that he was feeling happy that he was going to be seen in real life. This is the eternal truth. What I am is real. Now I am feeling joy,” he said. Kandara has been giving musical performances for the last time with the concept of ‘change in music, thinking and self’.
As part of the ‘Rhythm of Change’ series, the band had previously performed at XO Club in Thamel. This series is also running in Nepal and abroad. Due to the war in West Asia, the concert planned to be held in Israel has been stopped. The band is preparing for a UK tour in June, America and Canada after July.
Vivek, who is also the lead vocalist of the band, said that he is scheduled to return to the country and perform in various cities. Along with Vivek, the lead vocalists are Sunil Thapa on drums, Sandesh Museo on guitar, Pankaj Jha on bass guitar, Avinash singer on madal, Neeraj Vishwakarma on keyboard.
Viewers will be able to buy tickets for the concert through the pocket app. A total of 2,500 spectators are expected to participate in the club, which is said to be the largest in Asia.
