Bangladeshi artistes raising funds for Bapi Das from Moheener Ghoraguli
Bapi Das, the last pillar of Moheener Ghoraguli, is struggling with third stage cancer. Through social media, funds are being raised for his treatment. Moheener Ghoraguli revolutionised the world of Bengali music, bringing forth radical changes.
In 1975, Moheener Ghoraguli were one of the first rock bands. Almost 47 years have passed since they first came around. Yet, even today, their songs are still popular. Even though their songs are still around, one by one, the band members have passed away. Now only one members remains.
