Sunday Classics: ‘Abar bochhor kuri porey’ by Moheener Ghoraguli
Indulge in nostalgia with songs like Ghorey pherar gaan
Published 10.10.21, 12:13 AM
For all those living away from Kolkata, Durga Puja brings with it an intense sense of nostalgia and longing for home, something perfectly captured by Mohiner Ghoraguli's song Ghorey Pherar Gaan from the album Abar Bochhor Kuri Pore. The song talks about homesickness, about the familiar sights and sounds that the heart yearns for, something every probashi bangali would be familiar with, especially during Puja.
But why just stop at this one song? Mohiner Ghoraguli’s Abar bichhor kuri porey, released in 1995, has a slew of songs that have became anthems for a generation, from Lakkhichhara’s Porashonay jolanjoli bhebe to Dibyo Mukhopadhyay’s Akashe chhorano megher kachakachi to Surojit Chatterjee’s Ami daan dike roina to Krosswindz’s Prithibi ta naki.
Just queue it up and get transported to a world of simple tunes, powerful words and potent imagery.
