Gouranga Rudra sings about loss of innocence in society in his second album, music arrangement by Shanoli Sen
Kolkata, Feb 3 (IBNS): Singer Gouranga Chandra Rudra’s second music album, Shathi Karo Boike Tomar, is a potpourri of modern Bengali songs that talk about the loss of innocence in society, a lost childhood, and the need to restore the dying values of society, including love for books.
The arrangement of music has been done by popular accordion player Shanoli Sen.
The theme song Saathi Koro Boike Tomar has been penned by Samar Kumar Singha.
Rudra, who hails from a musically inclined family, is the son of Khudiram Rudra.
Gouranga Rudra got his first training at the age of 12 years from Nayantara who was a jatra singer.
Subsequently, he trained under seven teachers but his lifelong inspiration has been legendary music composer and singer Shyamal Mitra.
Rudra’s only message is that society is getting increasingly complicated and complex. Why do we encounter so much divisiveness in life? Three songs have been penned by Rudra and one by his wife Archana Rudra.
The CD has been produced by Gathani. Acoustically, there are innovations like the use of dotara mandolin and bangla dhol. Also, chorus has been used in many songs of the album.
“The songs have a lot of nostalgia in it. They remind one of the golden tunes of the retro era. Also, these songs provide a valuable insight into the problems prevailing in our society," summed up Shanoli Sen.
