    In any society, both the pop music and literary music play important role in language music progress. After the introduction of audio cassette industry, there has been flood of pop or mass music and poetry or literature based music/songs were on back foot. However, there have been persuasions by literature poets for creating literature based poetry songs and Chham CD is the proof. Dhanesh Kothari is one the prominent Garhwali literature poets who tries to make literary poetry a suitable bedfellow of mass music by producing ‘Chhamm music audio caste. Chhamm music cassette is the presentation of Shail Srijan Geet Kosh and Rama Audio Cassette Company. The lyrics are  Dil Myaru Garhwali (lyric by Ramesh Baluni), Chup ch yu Gan (lyric by Hemavti Bhatt), Kal hwe ge swami (lyric by Dhanesh Kothari), Marsa Ka Laya and Mata Surkanda (lyric by Kamal Nayan Dabral), Deja Dil Meru (lyric by Sulochana Uttaranchali) and Sili Ja kot (lyric by Pundit Prem Bhatt).

 The music is by Kamal Nayan Dabral. The famous classical singer of Manipuri Laishra sang the songs. The lyrics are of different emotions and music is pleasant. Dhnesh Kothari also sang songs.
