Many people asked singer Vivek Shrestha when he returned alone after spending 14 years in London - 'Why did he leave after destroying his family?' In the eyes of his two young daughters, he was considered a 'fallen husband'. However, no one asked what was the reason. No one wanted to understand how mentally deranged he was.

After almost 9 years, the same singer Shrestha revived his old band 'Kandara' and performed at the world famous 'Indigo at the Otu' in London on Saturday night. After the historic concert, Pokhreli singer Shrestha said to Kantipur, "After coming to London in September 2001, I sacrificed a lot to give great music from the first day." I left my family for music. Today my dream has come true. It was not just a concert, it was a matter of existence.'

When he was living in London, he used to travel through the 'Otu Venue' near his house, and he used to dream that one day he would be able to hold a grand concert here with his band. In 32 years of musical history, his dream has come true on Saturday. "For me and my band, this evening has become a very special and unforgettable day of life," he became emotional. 

Justin Bieber, Ed Siran, rock band Cold Play and other world-famous artists have performed in 'Indigo at the Otu', where about 2800 spectators joined in the singing. Singer Shrestha sang about one and a half dozen new and old songs in the 'live music' of Kandara's band members.

While singing for two hours in a row, he kept a handkerchief in the bag, 'This celebration of life is a gift from God', 'She went abroad', 'Lekki Hey Maya Mohni Bhai Laga', 'Videshinu Lekhio Karmaima', 'Hong Kong Pokhara', 'Timi Hashe Hashidiunla Roe Fakaunla', 'Elame Chiale Miteri Layo', 'Chiso Chiso Hawa Maa', 'Sangrilla's Lekbhari Phoolaiphoolko Basana', 'Hey kasto pakaha ayo solti', 'Phoulchokiko dandaima', 'Chanchle Kanchichiko', 'Kan khalkeki kun pasha manki e pari', 'Timi pari tey village', 'Ballatall meet bhako din' and others among his dozens of hits. The song is finished. 

The audience used to hoot in every song, saying 'once more'. 'London has changed a lot, thank you guys', Vivek was grateful to see the growth of Nepali music craze. In his own words, the early days in London 24 years ago were exciting.

Community hall with four-five balloons hanging, two speakers, song on the track, audience who came to listen to the song/music had a long line to eat than the program. And Vivek vowed, 'The level of Nepali music does not advance like this. Change must come.

singer Shrestha also inspired Gopal Yonjan's 'Dherei Ch Karna Swadeshko Seva Nepali Bannalai' to return to Nepal. I also returned to Nepal after living in London for 14 years. Never forget Nepal. If you have a holiday plan somewhere, come to Nepal," he urged.

Kandara, who started her musical journey abroad with the slogan 'Pahila Ghardesh and Pardesh', started her first concert in London. Singer Swapn Suman also performed with his band 'The Artists' at the concert organized by Mamaghar Entertainment. 'Swapn Suman and the artists' who started singing at 7.30 pm gave their performance for about an hour.
