= Musical journey =
After the death of their mother, Hira Devi Waiba in 2011, Navneet and Satya teamed up and began work to revive, protect and popularise authentic traditional Nepali Folk Music thus keeping the family's age old generational musical legacy alive. Their songs mostly reflect on women's issues, conflicts and difficulties in the Nepali society.
The brother and sister duo re-arranged and re-recorded Hira Devi Waiba's songs and in 2015 they handpicked Hira Devi Waiba's most iconic and popular songs. They named the album Ama Lai Shraddhanjali - Tribute to Mother and released it on 3 November 2017 at the historic venue, Patan Museum in Kathmandu, Nepal.{{Cite news|url=http://saptahik.ekantipur.com/news/2017-01-23/20170122113812.html|title=Kantipur News|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170620121952/http://saptahik.ekantipur.com/news/2017-01-23/20170122113812.html|archive-date=20 June 2017|url-status=dead|access-date=23 February 2018}}{{Cite web|url=https://namsadhim.com/archives/3547|title=Tribute to a Mother - Namsadhim|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180223184618/https://namsadhim.com/archives/3547|archivedate=2018-02-23}}{{Cite news|url=http://darjeelingtimes.com/daughter-of-legendary-singer-late-hira-devi-waiba-revives-her-songs/|title=Daughter of Legendary Singer Late.
