   Usually, there are popular songs related to love etc in Garhwali music cassettes. Renowned Garhwali poet Prital Apachhyan states that usually, there are songs related to Syali, Bau in Garhwali music cassettes. However, the Garhwali music cassette ‘Himalaya Kab Bwallo’ released in 2001is unique. The cassette producer Rama Cassette company took the new step by composing Gazals of renowned modern Garhwali poets Madan Duklan and Girish Sundariyal. There are eight Gazals of Madan and Girish in this Garhwali music cassette Himalaya Kab Bwallo (2001).

  There are experiments not only in Gazal writings but the music directors also did experiment in music too.  There is satire song ‘Ghughti’ wherein there is criticism of contemporary politics in Garhwal –

घुघति कि जिकुडि घाइल द्याखा 

काणा गरुड़ों कु खेल द्याखा 

बैली -बांजि  गौड़ी ऐगे घौर 

लैंदी बिंदारी भेळ द्याखा  

   The song  sung by famous Indian singer Narendra Singh Negi

गाती का कुमुर बिराणी होली 

अर खैरइ चुल्लि जगाणी होली   is capable to show the images of rural Garhwali woman life and is capable for creating pathos rapture.

 The song written by Girish Chhachhlaando’ is mixer of Thadya and Chaunfula tone.

 The Gazal written by Madan Duklan compels the audience to find the question of Himalaya protection and development.

छ्वटि  छ्वटि  आंख्युं मा दाना दाना स्वीणा 

नौन्याळू  बीच आज खेल नि रैगे 

साख्युं बटि जम्युं ह्युं कब गाळलो 

यो हिमालै अपड़ी पीड़ा कैमा ब्वाललो   

 There are other songs of same status as above.

The music composer Alok Molasi did many experiments to make Gazals melodious. Alok Molasi and Sangeeta Dhaundiyal sung the Gazal in this remarkable Garhwali music caste cassette Himalaya Kab Bwallo (2001).

The critics appreciated the march of Alok Molasi and Rama caste company.
