Campchaur, in Narayangarh, on Monday, was on fire. It was barely 1 in the afternoon, and a large crowd had gathered at the Campchaur ground. All eyes were squarely on the stage.

The occasion was Chitwan Music Fiesta and the artist performing was none other than the Wildfire hitmaker Bipul Chettri, who has made quite a splash in the Nepali music industry of late.

The event kicked off with a performance from DJ Process and DJ Jack. The bands Outsiders and Aarogya followed the opening act. It was only when the clock struck 6 in the evening that the highlight of the event, Bipul Chettri, took to the stage.

Chettri started off with the song Kaha Kateu Bedko Lauri. Renditions of Syndicate and Dhadhelo Lagyo and Deurali Danda and Khola Bagyo Salala followed. Throughout the gig, Chettri performed some of his most loved songs, new and old.

This was the first time Chettri performed for the Chitwani crowd and how he did it! And at around 8 pm, the MC Dinesh Pasa concluded the show by announcing, “I have emceed many different kinds of shows but a show of this magnitude is my first experience; a manifestation of the Bipul craze.”
