I'm always amazed by Tribal Rain every songs. I wish he was still alive making music. Me being a Non Nepali, who loves music, understand just bits and pieces of the language, was hooked into Nepali songs just because of Tribal Rain. Amazing musician Rahul Rai is. A life long fan of the band.

[@womkka]

Amazingly done documentary. Came upon Tribal Rain only earlier this year and instantly fell in love with the depth in the songs, everything from lyrics all the way to Rahul dai's singing. I was trying to look for more music from either the band or Rahul dai but couldn't find much and was wondering what had happened. I was taken aback to know he took his own life. My condolences to the family, a loss of a loved one is never easy no matter how many years pass. Hope his soul is at peace and singing to his hearts content, and his family is healing by the day. Mental health needs to be talked about openly. There is a saying that depression is a silent killer, you could be in a room full of people who love and support you but sometimes even that feels insufficient. I hope one day the conversation regarding mental health becomes as easy as talking about being sick from a cold and the help is as accessible as it can be.

[@thupsidedown]

Vishwa sir always wanted this story to be told. A story of the lost star among us. Congratulations to his vision, and the people who worked so diligently hard on this project. It is because of their dedication that we are able to look into the life of such a beautiful soul.

Thank you for all the great music...Although i don't understand much of the songs since it's in nepali, but I get the feel and emotions behind them..That's what music is,right...Unfortunately I discovered tribal rain, after rahul rai passed away... Bhanai was the first song i heard, loved it,from guitars to vocal melodies... Went for the whole album... Been listening to them since 2018...still in love with the melodies... I loved the way Rahul's mom shared his memories... I visited namchi once, didn't knew it was his hometown. I would have loved to meet Rahul's parents, just to let them know how much I like his music... May God bless his soul. . . Om shanti🙏💐

I think this is the right time to say. It was back when it was 2015 or 2016.I first listened him in soundcloud and i am lucky to save his voice in my playlist and its in it till now.I was so depressed and i need to heal myself because i came abroad to struggle.I was alone.I heard him for the first time and on that time he was imfamous.The first melody of bhanai song his words really touched me.I am not trying to say i was first but really his song was not much popular to the big mass specially in Nepal.I really wish he would take over the nepal and wins alot of Nepalese heart.I bought guitar and really searched for the chords in internet but i couldn't find anything related to him and his song so i decided to find my own chord to help myself to sing when i am depressed.When i went back to Nepal on mid of 2017.I play the song infront of my guys and they really like the music and words and i insist them to listen him.Slowly back on 2018-2020 and this 2022 i see many people start loving him and his unique creation. I still heal myself with his song and you are still in my saved playlist in soundcloud. Miss you Rahul........
