Bipul Chettri - Bahra Mahina

Fusing traditional styles of Nepali oral folk storytelling of the Himalayas with mainstream reggae rhythms of Jamaica, ‘Bähra Mahina’ (Twelve Months) speaks of the age old dilemma of having to spend one’s youth working hard to ensure a financially secure future for an older self, while missing out on all the experiences of the present that only the young can appreciate.

So what is a young person to do? Give up today for the sake of tomorrow? Forget about tomorrow and live it up today? Is there an option where you can have both? Does anyone even have an answer?
