Back when cassettes were still a part of everyday life, my dad had a drawer overflowing with cassettes by Souls and Renaissance. I’d often hum along to songs like “Mon Shudhu Mon Chhuyechhey”, “Bhalo Lagey Jotsna Ratey”, and “O Nodire Tui Jaas Kothaire.” The melodies and lyrics felt magical, and I remember wishing to someday meet the person behind these songs.
Renaissance, the iconic band that began its journey in 1985, is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. To mark this milestone, the band has decided to release a new song, titled “Diner Sheshe Shobai Eka”.
