Anindya Chatterjee’s Pujo picks: You can’t help playing these on a loop

Roll back time and revisit these two songs, as suggested by this musician-filmmaker

Pujo is incomplete without the voice of our favourites. And Anindya Chatterjee’s voice is one that defined the turn of the century and the decade ahead for us. This is what he said when My Kolkata caught up with him.

“Pujo is all about songs floating in from the para’r mic and worn down amplifiers. I’ve grown up listening to Bengali songs during Pujo. One special song which will always be a favourite of mine is O Mor Moyna Go. A beautiful Salil Chowdhury composition adorned by Lata Mangeshkar’s voice. I would ask people to revisit this song, which was way ahead of its time,” Anindya suggested. Tune in to the song here.

Another song which Anindya Chatterjee suggests is Duniya Dot Com from their 2001 album Chaw. “I remember it was playing at every pandal across town. It was a mantra, which we converted into a song. This is another song we could revisit as we usher in the mood on Mahalaya.”

Chandrabindoo will also be performing in Kolkata and other cities, this, Pujo across multiple venues. “I wish all MK readers and our fans a very happy Pujo ahead filled with love and warmth,” Anindya added.
