Back with Talobasha: Chandrabindoo’s long-awaited tenth album to complete 100-song goal

Chandrabindoo has been persistent in producing unique words under known tunes. They have consistently done social commentaries, focusing on contemporary love and changing mainstream politics. The band has played on words to depict the narratives of philosophy and history in songs like Tatin, Mongol Groho and Tobo Mukut. The relevance and the popularity of the band came from tapping into the conformist mentality of an essentially intellectual sub-culture of the Bengali community.

Saadat Hasan died, but Manto lives on

As we celebrate his birth anniversary every year on 11 May, we remember the writer who inked society as it was, on paper, in all its humanity and inhumanity. After 112 years since his birth, we still read Manto, and his stories make us tremble even today.
