Festive season or not .. nostalgic resides in every fold of Bengal’s cultural memory lane. Now Joy Sarkar & Srijato is set to encash the hackneyed sentiment to profit from it.
Six-song album, ‘Amar Chokher Ghare’ (INRECO), exploits Bengal flavours – romantic city lanes infusing them with tribal beats.
Story of a girl as seen from the broken mirror glass pieces, “Ekta Din”, describes the pain of displaced soul, longing to come together again on a special day; “Bristi Din”, is the story of the heart pleading fervently for answers to the many unanswered calls on a rain soaked day; “Ekta Bikel”, is the story of the dreamer, who in state of euphoria of rapturous joy, on meeting the lover on a romantic sun kissed evening; “Sokal Theke”, is a funfilled song where the mind goes out on a picnic mood on a outdoor winter morning and last song “Katle Ghuri” is a song of childhood fascination for the girl next door, who steals out some time amidst the Harmonium lessons for her old pal.
