“LETTER” is more than just a song; it is a hopeful message from KATHMANDU for all young people who feel they have been ‘defeated’ by life or who have experienced failure. Through touching lyrics and melodies, KATHMANDU wants to remind its listeners that life must continue to be lived, even in difficult moments.

A spontaneous meeting between Marco Hafiedz, one of the KATHMANDU members, and Rafi in the Kemang area some time ago was the beginning of this collaboration. Enthusiastically, Rafi accepted Marco’s invitation to fill the saxophone in “LETTER”. The result is a Brit Rock masterpiece that combines the power of KATHMANDU’s hopeful lyrics with an immersive saxophone melody.
