Music in his principle is universal and above caste, creed, and culture. He is a pioneer of Singtam’s Nepali Rock Music and has been a popular face in every musical entertainment since his school days. Meet Gangaa Mukhia, he is the talk of the town with his debut album “Aakarshan”, a Nepali rock music album, recorded at the studio in Mumbai. Aakarshan got raving reviews from his admirers that he is set to come up with its music video very shortly.
The music album was officially released on the occasion of the final of the Nachiyo Babari, the dance reality show held at Paljor Stadium at Gangtok through the hand of Dr. Pawan Chamling, the Chief Minister of Sikkim. A special stage show for this album is all set to hit the town of Guwahati in Assam in the coming months.
Born and brought up at Singtam, Gangaa Mukhia today runs a musical class at his residence at Shantinagar, below PWD Office. More than two dozen music enthusiasts had undergone vocal classes under his guidance over the last couple of years. His music lesson includes vocal classes along with a lesson about playing guitar. One of his vocal students recently went on to sing for the Nepali Film featuring Prashant Tamang in lead.
Gangaa Mukhia is very thrilled about his first album and wished that everyone would listen to it and provide him with the best suggestions that could be of importance for his coming album in days to come, he said. He was one of the star attractions in the recent Sumin-Lingchey School’s Annual Function where he performed before distinguished guests.
He is set to perform at the felicitation program at Rongli, in the coming week. Gangaa Mukhia in his own words told me that people invite him to their program and I believe it is my opportunity to perform before my crowd.
...well he did great for Nepali music. But if you dig further I would say Singtam has another great legend hidden somewhere in the nooks and corners of the bustling town. He goes by the name of Sonam waiba and has been an influential Rock guitarist in Sikkim.Many youngsters do not remember him but he was called "magic fingers" by the Rock Street Journal the only Indian Rock Magazine. His abilities are mind blowing but in a town where every listener is a fan of the "language" of the song rather than art of music he has remained largely forgotten.....I know him personally and i still vouch for his abilities as a guitarist....
