So it’s been a year since I posted for the last time in the community as I was in some familiar crisis and have been through a lot.
It feels great to be back in the community again and I’m trying my level best to be active in the community again and hope this year I’ll be serving my best to the community.
So, I’ve been thinking about what to post or how to start, and then I came up with this idea about why not post some photos of one of my favorite bands performing that I’ve captured recently. So here I go.
So the program was held in TSC Auditorium | University of Dhaka on 25th November 2021.
Technically the songs were released on YouTube by February 2020 but as it was pandemic the band didn’t get any scope or maybe didn’t have any intention to perform as well before 2021. And, they performed their very first show after almost one and half a year of the album release, and in history, they are the only band who launched the debut album physically after 1.5 years of online release.
The show was amazing and the band performed each and every song from their debut album. I’ll leave a link of their channel, you guys can give them a try.

Here, I’ll leave some of the photos that I took during the show.
If you are a rock music lover possibility is higher that you’ll love this band. The entire band is formed with different talents and the compositions are just beyond imagination.
A very beautiful part of the show was this guy, Kazi Sohel Ahmed , this guy literally drew the image of Vocal Probar Ripon after coming to the show and the sketch was very accurate.
Bassist of the band. Shakil Haque is technically a Bengali but he was born and spent most of his life abroad. Thus, Bengali is his second language.
Seth Panduranga Blumberg, the lead guitarist of the band, who is from Gaylord, Michigan is playing for the band since the beginning. He is an amazing guitarist and a person filled with art.
Probar Ripon, the main vocal of the band. my most favorite person from the band, he is the one who formed this amazing band gathering all this amazing talent. He wrote most of the songs and the lyrics are amazing. He’s a very humble and kind person. It was an honor to meet him.
The originality of the album makes it an exception. While many bands have strayed away from the path of creating quality music, Shonar Bangla Express stands tall as the next big thing.
The songs from the album are- Hyena Express , Mrittu Utpadon Kori , Ondho Deyal , Shurjer Ondhokar, Amar Naam Oshukh, Kromosho, Perfumer Fele Deya Botol, Attohottar Gaan and Epitaph.
The lineup of Shonar Bangla Circus includes Probar Ripon on vocals, Seth Panduranga Blumberg on guitars, Dewan Enamul Hasan Raju on drums, Shakil Haque on bass, and Saad Chowdhury on keyboards.
That’s all, all the photos were taken with my Nikon D7100 with a combination of 50mm f1.8G and 18-140mm f3.5-5.6 and were edited in Adobe Lightroom CC.
