Sabin Rai first captured public attention in the 1990s, but it was the release of his 2003 album Sataha that truly established him as a household name.

This collaboration breathed new life into Sabin’s music. The Pharaoh, a collective of talented artists united by a shared vision, brought diverse musical backgrounds that fused rock, blues, and even traditional Nepali folk elements. Their 2019 album, Dhanyabaad, reflects this seamless blend, earning praise for its compelling songwriting and polished arrangements.
