Bringing the Cultural Spirit of Teej to Life Through Music
Teej is regarded as an important festival for Nepali Hindu women. Along with its religious significance, the festival is also known for social gatherings, sharing joys and sorrows, meeting family and friends, dancing, singing, and expressing cultural traditions.
The traditions of visiting one’s maternal home, meeting sisters and friends, enjoying traditional feasts, and celebrating through Teej songs have made the festival particularly special among Nepali women.
With these cultural sentiments and the festive atmosphere at its core, ‘Teejko Lahar Aunda Barilai’ has been created to portray the joy and excitement of Teej. Through her voice and lyrics, Pujan Kafle has attempted to artistically present the festive environment and enthusiasm of Nepali women.
Strong Cast and Creative Team Behind the Music Video
The music video features Bina Raut as an artist. She is joined by Yagya Bahadur Kafle, Maiya Devi Kafle, Bhim Thapa, Darpan Bhujel, Samiksha KC, and Roshani Baral, who have contributed through their performances and dance.
The music video has been directed and choreographed by Shivan Pokharel, with Dipesh SK serving as assistant dance choreographer. The production team has made an effort to bring the festive energy, traditional dances, and Nepali cultural setting to the screen through the performances of the artists.
The cinematography has been handled by Dipal Giri, while Milan Bishwakarma has undertaken the editing and color grading. Samjhana Boutique has managed the artists’ costumes, and Saroj Budhathoki has handled the makeup.
The song has been produced with the involvement of Poonam Kafle, Yagya Bahadur Kafle, and Maiya Devi Kafle. The production team has expressed gratitude to everyone who contributed to the creation of the song and music video, with special thanks extended to Priyanshraj Pandey.
Strong Collaboration from Lyrics and Music to Sound Production
The musical production of the song reflects collaboration among creative professionals from different areas. Pujan has provided both the vocals and lyrics, while G.R. Baniya has composed the music.
Santosh Pragadh has arranged the music, while Sanjay Shripal has handled the mixing and sound mastering. The recording was completed at Murchunga Digital.
The song has therefore brought together experienced contributors in lyrics, vocals, music composition, arrangement, recording, mixing, and overall sound production.
Pujan Kaphle Honored at National and International Award Platforms
Pujan Kafle is active in the Nepali music industry not only as a singer but also as a lyricist and creative artist. Her musical journey includes recognition at both national and international platforms.
Kaphle received the Best Modern Female Singer honor at the Ninth National Capital Award. Likewise, she received the Best Female Singer honor at the Himalayan International Award for her popular song ‘Chupchap.’
Having already earned recognition at national and international platforms, Kaphle has released her new Teej song in her own voice and with lyrics written by herself on the occasion of Teej. In this regard, ‘Teejko Lahar Aunda Barilai’ is viewed as another significant addition to her musical journey.
One of the notable aspects of Pujan Kaphle’s new Teej song is that she has written the lyrics herself. Alongside singing, Kaphle has remained active in songwriting and creative work, using her compositions to explore the connection between Nepal’s cultural traditions and the musical interests of the new generation.
Teej songs have become a major attraction in Nepal’s music industry every year. Although contemporary elements have increasingly found their way into Teej music in recent years, preserving the festival’s traditional cultural essence and the emotional connection Nepali women have with Teej remains equally important.
‘Teejko Lahar Aunda Barilai’ appears to have been created with this sentiment in mind, combining the festive character of Teej with the cultural emotions associated with the celebration.
Released during the Teej season, ‘Teejko Lahar Aunda Barilai’ is expected to further enliven the celebrations of Nepali women through its themes of festivity, dancing, social gatherings, and cultural joy.
The music video and song have been officially released through the Pujan Kaphle Official YouTube channel, presenting the cultural vibrancy of Teej, women’s emotions, and festive entertainment through music and visual storytelling.
