Gauley Bhai

The result is genre-fluid sound — deeply rooted yet nomadic. Though they sing in Nepali, Gauley Bhai’s music resonates widely, transcending language through emotional depth and sonic storytelling. Their debut album Joro(2019), meaning “fever” in Nepali explored themes of love, loss, and displacement. It received critical acclaim for its eclectic sound powerful live performances, touring extensively across India, Nepal, and even the UK’s Joon Festival. 

Beyond performance, Gauley Bhai is committed to community work. In 2022, they collaborated with youth from the Teesta highway region, addressing unemployment and addiction through music. This led to the formation of the Teesta Creative Space and the Teesta Troupers, a youth collective whose debut album Sound of the Streets was co-created and produced by the band. Gauley Bhai continues to support grassroots music-making and mentorship for young artists from marginalised regions.
