This was a syncretic tale of the Sundarbans that was reinterpreted into being at Goethe-Institut Bangladesh on Saturday, June 28, by Folklore Expedition Bangladesh in a puthi path titled “Bon Bibir Jahuranama”
They say that life is a great leveller – and that sentiment is doubly true for the entertainment industry. Coke Studio Bangla, a cultural phenomenon fuelled by endless debates about meritocracy and even capitalism in music, started season 2 with the highly appreciated “Murir Tin”, blending dialects of Chattogram, Khulna and Sylhet to make an incredible musical mishmash.
The verses remind us that a withering, war-torn Earth can still birth new life and hopes of freedom.
The second season’s first song, “Murir Tin”, created a wave across the country with its’ soulful music and lyrical composition of local dialects.
It seems the song "Bonbibi" will be about the myth of the same name, heard around the areas in Sundarban.
