Navneet is the only artist in the Nepali folk music genre who sings authentic traditional Nepali folk songs without adulteration or modernisation. They named the album Ama Lai Shraddhanjali - Tribute to Mother. After Hira Devi Waiba died in 2011, her son Satya Waiba and daughter Nanveet Aditya Waiba took upon the task of reviving her songs, re-recorded them with a new sound and released them in Navneet's voice. She sang about 300 songs throughout her 40-year musical career. Hira Devi Waiba is hailed as the pioneer of Nepali folk songs. Some modern Tamang Selo music also shows influences of western and Indian instruments. It is said that British people derived the idea of making drum sets from Damphu during their stay in India. Tamang Selo music is accompanied by the Damphu and Tungna. The Tamang community is well known for the Damphu, a traditional instrument. Musical genres from Tibet and India have greatly influenced Nepalese music. Most of the country's musical bands are based in the Kathmandu valley.
