Before the album was officially launched by the President, singer Dhakal said, “I’ve sung many songs and I’ve many albums but this one is very special to me. It’s the first time a Nepali singer has had an opportunity to sing with Lata ji. I’m sure the Nepali music industry will benefit from her presence because she has many fans all over the world.”

Dhakal performed two songs during the event – ‘Bihana uthne bittikai’ and ‘Bachunjeli lai’, which he sang with his daughter, Rani Dhakal.
