Rupankar Bagchi, is an artist who is celebrated by both sides of Bengal. But he has recorded only a handful of songs specifically for the Bangladeshi audience. Ajob Records has recently released his latest single, "Kemon Acho Tumi" (“How Are You?”).
The lyrics were penned by Bangladeshi lyricist Mahmood Manzoor, with melody and music arrangement by Joy Shahriar.
When asked about the release, Mahmood Manzoor said: “There’s no need to say much about Rupankar’s voice—he is an essential figure in Bengali music. This song turned out beautifully. Although we created it quite some time ago, it took a while to reach listeners. I hope the audience will be touched by it. That would be the song’s true success.”
Rupankar Bagchi commented: “I always look forward to working on songs from Bangladesh. I’ve done a few in the past, and I really liked the lyrics, tune, and arrangement of this one. I believe listeners on both sides of the border will enjoy it.”
Notably, other Indian artists such as Shubhomita, Palak Muchhal, and Silajit have also performed songs written by Mahmood Manzoor in the past.
