Muglan — the old word for "the foreign land." A folk-rock band singing in Nepali about migration, the long bus from the village, the cousin who came back in a coffin, and the cousin who came back rich and bored. Three studio albums, forty cities played, still on the road.
The video that put the band on the map — shot across Solukhumbu, Sindhupalchok, and Lalitpur over a long weekend in late 2024. 800K views, picked up by Routine of Nepal Banda.
