Tarang

Tarang, a musical journey showcasing the gentle ripples and rhythms inspired by nature experienced through timeless spirituality of Indian Classical ragas and talas. 'Tarang' means waves or ripples, like those in the ocean

Bong Connection

Bong Connection uses all the colors in the palette of music - from Bhatiyali to Sufi, from Pashto to Oriya, from Rabindrasangeet to Daler Mehendi, from Mohiner Ghoraguli to KK - our canvas of rendition has no bounds.

Obosheshe

প্রতিদিনের ব্যাস্ততার ফাঁকে গজিয়ে ওঠা মনের কোনের নীরব স্বপ্নগুলোকে খাঁচায় পুরে রেখে ঘুমের দেশে পাড়ি দেওয়ার পরেই শুরু হয় অন্তহীন স্বপ্নের সমুদ্রে অনন্ত ভেসে যাওয়া। আর যখন কানপুর, কোন্নগর, ব্যারাকপুর, হাওড়া, মেদিনীপুর, বেহালা এবং শ্রীরামপুরের সাতটি অবাধ্য ইচ্ছে একসুরে বেজে ওঠে? তখন গীটারের ছটি তারের অনুরণনের ঝঙ্কারে “অবশেষে” ডানা মেলে দেয়। আমাদের “অবশেষে” শেষের শুরু নয়, বরং শুরুর শেষে সুরের দেশে অবিরাম পথচলা।
