It's a matter of great pride that a first song have been recorded by the Bhutanese for the Bhutanese in America. It's titled "Bibhinna Jata Jatile". Its all a praise for all those who have worked together for this song.
How did the song come up?
Actually there was a need of a new song for the musical Program to be presented in the convention of OBCA. It was the idea from the head of D.J. Khaling that a song for the unification of all Bhutanese in America was an immediate need of the hour. The responsibility was initially given to Manoj Rai, Florida, who is a good musician and singer himself. He thought it was a big responsibility so he took help from Ram Gurung who learnt Nepali music from veteran composer and singer, Amber Gurung. Ram Gurung is also one of the singer of the National anthem of Nepal.
The song was finally made with the effort of musical group of Georgia. It was first presented in the OBCA convention held on 18th and 19th June in Georgia. The visual of the song was edited and uploaded by Kumar Gurung, the Vice Chairman of OBCA. The song became very popular within a short period of time. It was performed by Nebraska Bhutanese Community after Georgia, on 4th July at New Arrivals' Recreation Program.

CONGRATULATION to all of you for creating such a beautiful song, entitled - Bibhinna Jata Jatile. Many of us in South Australia see this composition not merely as infectious and powerful piece of music, but as promise from the younger generation that one day the Bhutanese youth will come up with a world class song like "We are the World" to help heal our community which has tormented for so long and create a song like "We Shall Overcome" to ultimately end the prevailing discord and disunity and establish a Bhutanese Community which is truly inclusive, cohesive, equitable, productive, purposeful, stable and strong.
Best wishes for all your future endeavors.
Many thanks, Always, Jogen

The song and the video is indeed a very good one.Congratulation to the composer and to all the artists for the time and the effort you have invested. You have done a great job which is praiseworthy one. This would inspire all the scattered Bhutanese around the world and encourage them to work for the promotion of our culture. Wherever we go our culture and the music does not leave us. Infact, our culture is very very rich!
