Background

[edit]

"We believe Rabindranath himself was a cultural institute for us."

—Shironamhin

Shironamhin Rabindranath is the fourth studio album of the band, featuring rock interpretations of Tagore's songs, known as Rabindra Sangeet.[1] The band held that Rabindranath Tagore important for them culturally, especially as Bengalis. Lead vocalist Tanzir Tuhin studied the songs at Bulbul Lalitakala Academy (BAFA).[2] As band member Zia noted, part of the motivation in making this album was the feeling that many of their fans, particularly adolescents, were unfamiliar with Rabindra Sangeet, and hope that it would revitalise interest in Tagore.[3]
