How to spend free time in covid? Ujan Shakya's interest in music composition. Even when he was confined to a room, his interests were not confined. I found online resources for making music in a closed room and started learning how to mix what tunes to what rhythms.

Created music following Charlie Boots, uploading 8 songs in Nepali language every month on YouTube. The songs were not garnering much views, but Ujan was attracted by the same process of music making. The family used to say, 'What do you do when you are locked inside the room? Go out too.'

The family advised to make a song in Nepali language. Following this advice, Ujan felt that 'Thoon Kanhe' got unexpected views, 'Perhaps the audience is looking for a similar song.' Newa through songs: added a new sweetness to music.

New in Afro genre: Singer Ujan, who is bringing new music to the music sector by mixing instruments, has been reborn after Covid. West and Newa: Baja's fusion is his style. In the same style, he mixes western style singing. In the same song, Neva: combines the classic tunes of music in an artistic way.

This is why Ujan Newa is emerging as a new genre, a new taste for music. Around the year 2016/17, Ujan used to perform 'gigs' towards Thamel in English songs. He was influenced by the country rock of 'Eagles Band' and sang similar songs. Before the lockdown, he recorded and released the songs 'Tysayle Soor Aaw' and 'Madhhos' from the channel of his band 'Emerge'. Not much songs.

While studying BIM (Bachelor in Information Technology), it was difficult to find time for music. Covid showed the way to music production.

After 'Thoon Kanhe', he made 'Maicha' with the idea of ​​creating a fun style song.

Swaan swaya, chha he lumna wal

man jigu, sichchuse chwana wal

ukin chha vanemte, tvahta: jit: than

fya vah saan, wa vah saan...

A line in the match went on too long. , 'Gan one tyana gan one tyana, gun one tyana re Maicha. Vane mate aah la, hathay chaye ma : la, gan vane tyta re'. That is, where are you going to go, where are you going to go? In this line, imagined in the open world after the lockdown, the female character is in a hurry to return home. However, the male character is asking for time with his girlfriend.

If the world opens up after covid, what happens when two loving couples meet? What are you talking about? 'Maicha', which was created by the idea, became a hit. However, Ujan came to know that this song played only a little later. Especially when he started spending a lot of time inside the room, the family kept asking Ujan to come out. So he thought of taking a 'break' from the daily grind of music production.

Stayed out of social media by publishing Matcha on YouTube. I took a break to play Ludo with my family and spend time with them. Just then, the song started,' Ujan remembered. Two weeks after the release of the song, one day Ujan got a call from the drummer of his band, 'Maicha te viral gayo ni, do you know?' Ujan was shocked. Anyone on Tiktok has created Tiktok on this song. The success gave Ujan the energy to do other Nepali language songs.

then made 'Nug', 'Matina', 'Rajmati Cha' and 'Lumanti'. I love producing music more than singing. I also started liking mixing and mastering. At first, curiosity made me learn, now I am enjoying it,' says Ujan, 'the melody of the song comes to me. After making the music, I hum it myself, recording the melody as soon as it comes. I am still amazed when I see this song playing.'

Meanwhile, he looked closely at Newa music, new songs were not coming out much. Only comedy style songs were coming. Because good songs have stopped coming in Newa music, Ujan felt that songs in the Newa language should be brought. He wanted to modernize the Newa music. However, in the whirlwind of modernization, the essence of Ujan's songs was lost. Even while making

matcha, he used to insist that the song should be modified rather than the meaning. The traditional instruments of the Newa community were lost from his songs in the rush to become modern. From that experience, he started mixing traditional instruments from 'Rajmati'. In terms of genre, Rajmati is Afro, but the fusion of Newari Baja made the song unique. I had made Rajmati, between Dasain and Tihar we went to Chitwan to visit our cousins. I sang Rajmati Cha and put it on Tiktok so that I don't make a video on iPhone. It is a hit from place to place," he said. In

'Liklik' used baja strings. Khin and Ta mixed in 'Lumanti'. Flute was also mixed. "My genre is Afro, but I mix it with Neva: baja," says Ujan. His next plan is to modernize traditional music. For the same purpose, they also insert old Newa music into their songs. In 'Rajmati Cha', the classic song 'Rajmati Va' has been incorporated.

The entry of actress Hisila Maharjan from the old song also made the video of the song the most popular. His presence took the song to another level with the combination of 'Rajmati Wa' and 'Rajmati Cha'. In 'Lumanti' he has also mixed evergreen songs of Newa music like 'Napp chone madusan khwa jak ju saan wa re neeramaya'. 

This song gives the meaning of coming even if we cannot be together. Lumanti means to remember. That's why the feeling of my song was lifted by the classic song,' Ujan said, 'I used that old song and it became my style. Modernizing does not mean destroying or displacing old music. My aim is to make the audience remember those songs and listen to them again. When I mix an old song like this, how many of you search for and listen to the same old song?' Along with Ujan, the songs of Kum Sagar, Rozman have brought this spring in Neva music. He narrates that the Newa language songs became popular because of the melody and rhythm of their songs. Music has no language. "Perhaps everyone seems to be enjoying the music vibe now. The audience of
