Legendary Band Moheener Ghoraguli Tapas Bapi Das' last founding member passes away. Tapas Bapi Das, the sole remaining founder member of the pioneering Indian Bangla rock band Moheener Ghoraguli and famous composer, guitarist, and music aficionado, died on Sunday morning after a battle with lung cancer. According to many media sources, he died at the SSKM Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal. Since 1974, Moheener Ghoraguli's band Tapas has transformed Bangla music with a unique blend of baul, jazz, folk, and rock music supplemented with beautiful, soulful sounds and profound lyrics. Tapas was one of West Bengal's most admired painters. He'd been fighting lung cancer for a time and was now in the third stage, undergoing chemotherapy. Since the news of his sickness surfaced in January, artists in both West Bengal and Bangladesh have been soliciting cash for his treatment, with the West Bengal government overseeing his care. On July 14, a fundraiser concert with 40 famous Bangladeshi performers was set to take place at Dhaka's Liberation War Museum. Tapas was born on September 22, 1954, in Kolkata, and was one of the original members of Moheneer Ghoraguli, along with Gautam Chattopadhyay, Ranjon Ghoshal, Pradip Chatterjee, Biswanath Bishu Chattopadhyay, Tapesh Bandopadhyay, and Abraham Mazumdar. This original lineup remained in place until 1978. Tapas became the creator and mentor behind the next-generation Bangla band Moheen Ekhon O Bondhura in 2015, after the band disbanded. Tapas is listed as a co-lyricist, composer, and performer on numerous Moheener Ghoraguli songs, including Haay, Bhalobasi, Bheshe Ashey Kolkata, Shudhijon Shono, Ayee Surey Bohudurey, and others. 'Even though he lost his battle with cancer, he at least got to know about this initiative, and he expressed his joy when we first discussed this concert with him,' Eventholic, the organizer of the scheduled fundraising concert in Bangladesh for the legendary artiste, said on its official Facebook page. We also had him sign some t-shirts last night.' 'A tribute concert will undoubtedly take place, since we genuinely want to stand beside his wife, Sutapa Das, and plans will be announced in two days,' said Sutapa Das. 'The show must go on,' the message states. #studentjournalist #tribuitetomoheneerghoraguli #tapasbapidas

#studentJournalist How 'Concert For Bangladesh' changed the civilized world's impression: The world got some shocking news in spring 1970, The Beatles had broken up. But from this band, Harrison and Ringo Starr performed together at 1 August, 1971 in Madison Square. This increased the people's attention more. George Harrison and Ravi Sanker were able to pull together an amazing group of people Billy Preston, Leon Russell, Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr also. Audience excitement didn't know the bound. cause one question remained unanswered. Will Bob Dylan join this super star's line up in Madison Square? Who hadn't performed any live concert for two years. That's why ticket was sold out at a glance and whole world's youth's attention was all about this 'Concert for Bangladesh'. Music has a responsibility. Music influences us mentally everyday. It creates emotions, makes us happy or calms us down. It has the power to build feelings of patriotism through lyrics and music, often pushing mankind to achieve feats of heroism. But here the aspect was the role music played in setting the actual impression for the War of Liberation of Bangladesh. Great musicians had the ability to become the standard-bearers of national identities and movements. The 'Concert for Bangladesh' proved that. It is said, "As is the music, so are the people." The concert and record sales were eventually heavily taxed by the governments of the USA and Britain over allegations that they had failed to register the event as a concert for charity. Finances aside, the concert achieved something far more remarkable. Its music instantly raised awareness of our ongoing genocide. What proved an unexpected effect despite Tikka Khan’s efforts. It changed the way the world viewed events in East Pakistan, also forcing the US government to notice and react. Though before the concert, several journalists brought the word genocide to the front, but those weren't enough to recognize this brutality to the world. West Pakistan with the help of US govt. tried to convince the world that, that was a propaganda which was created by neighbor country India. They tried to misguide them telling there was no genocide happening. But after that show world realized that something happening wrong with Bangladesh. World's people started to seek knowledge about this war. After this liberation war, in 1991 George Harrison confessed that collecting fund was not the main objective for this concert. Raising the world's conscience was the main objective then they looked for money. This is precisely what the greatest contribution of the Concert for Bangladesh is. It put the Bangladeshi crisis in the imagination of the Western public and the whole world. The Concert for Bangladesh was one of several factors and elements that contributed to the creation of this global imagination.
