Shafin Ahmed, the soul of Bangladesh's rock music scene, was not just a singer; he embodied our youth, dreams, and memories. Born on 14 February, 1961, in the heart of Kolkata, Shafin was destined for greatness. His foray into the band Miles truly defined his career and left an indelible mark on a generation of Bangladeshis.
“I cannot believe that we are seeing scenes like this on the streets of Bangladesh, our own people being treated like this, unbelievable,” wrote Shafin Ahmed four days ago on his Facebook profile. Little did he know that this would be the last visual he would have of his beloved motherland. All his life, Shafin had raised his voice against whatever he perceived as injustice– which also led him to leave the band he helped make legendary, Miles.
