I am sure i do not need
to give any introduction about this band but as i am a great fan
and since the Band has become a public eye, i got to add some peppers to
give more taste to this inspiring, young, growing band.
Two years back ,I was
browsing my facebook when I saw two videos posted in my friend’s timeline with a caption “guys, he got an awesome voice,
check it out”. Thick, black curls of
bird’s nest around his head made me quite curious to check it out once besides being a music
lover. When I listened to his voice and the song he has composed, the once to
be watched video became again and again, forcing the buffering action of the
video. The spell of 'yonphula' trapped me and I immediately recorded and
decided to sing the song for the first time in
Bhutanese gathering during losar celebration. I did get a good compliment from
my friends having sung a never heard song as no one knew about the Band back
then.

Since then, I have been
following his page ‘misty terrace’ and keeping update with his new videos. I
shared about the band to my friend tshering who is also music lover. He also
got mad at super musical charm of the band and soon both of us started getting into the paradise of misty
world. We learned all the songs
of them and also started to play guitar along with it in most of the gathering.
The leading Guitarist: Bikas Gurung
Tshewang Gyeltshen, the chorus king
Now, the scent of misty
world has touched all the hearts of young youths of Bhutan. During my vacation,
I saw almost all people especially the youths , in town, neighbourhood and school, some beating the strings of ‘thimphu babesa’, some,"choelu
tade" and mostly “yonphula”. Even a fifth standard boy was telling he wanted to sing a song of
“copi”. At first I thought he was a new singer in Bhutan but soon I learned,
the mysterious ‘copi’ was the nickname
of the misty boy ‘Tandin Wangchuk’. He seem to have got this name because of
the majestic hairstyle like a cauliflower on his head. Even in facebook
now, many fans are seen
uploading their own set of cover songs of misty terrace. He is seen performing
live shows all around the country and soon he is to release his album at the
end of this year. I am really looking forward for that.

got the hand of his lead guitarist Bikas Gurung. The leadings of Bikas and the
chorus oTshewang gives more live to the misty songs with the melody of Tandin’s voice. They are the
inspiration not only to me but many young music lovers like me in today’s
generation. I put my hands along with all the fans for the successfull release of their album and to keep composing more of such wonderful songs.
