Bangla band

Bangla band

A Bangla band is any (modern) musical band that performs solely or mainly in the Bengali language and which uses Western principles of music.

Mohiner Ghoraguli is widely credited with being the first Bangla Band, though it did not achieve wide recognition in its time. Later, as Western influences became more widespread, the Bangla band became popular with young people during the 1980s and 1990s, both in India and Bangladesh, and has since become entrenched in modern Bengali culture. Then with the advent of the next millenium, new genre of bangla bands started to blossom, where bands like Insomnia came up with a fresh alternative sound, their bands like RIKTERSKALE started to blend the heavy-metal sound with their contemporary lyrics.

Bangla bands use a wide variety of styles such as rock, pop, hard rock, heavy metal,grunge, folk, and fusion. Their music is influenced both by popular American music as well as traditional Bengali folk music such as shyama sangeet and baul.

Like popular music in other countries, Bangla bands are very popular among Bengali young people.
