An uncommon raaga

So you heard about Bhoopali.
Sa Re Ga Pa Dha Sa / Sa Dha Pa Ga Re Sa
A popular pentatonic scale.

Now, if you change Dha -> komol dha,
this becomes Bhoopkali or Bhoopeshwari (a morning raaga)
By Ronu Majumdar

A famous Ghazal by Mehdi Hasan - "Ab Ke Hum Bichde"
Ab ke hum bichde

আকাশের জন্য (For the sky)

This is from a poem that I was reading the other day (by Apurbo Dutta) and I thought it can be sung :) .. so with very minimal change I came up with this song version of that poem.

Lochloosa - A Bengali rendition

This is one of my favorite songs from the band JJ Grey & Mofro. The song is called Lochloosa.
It is about a lake near Gainesville, FL which is my second home :-) honestly.

original version 1

original version 2

We all have our own Lochloosa somewhere, I am sure :-)
First I did a Indian melody mixing with it. Here it is : A fused version

But I really wanted to do a bengali version of it keeping the original lyrics as close as possible.

Here is our translation [Thanks to Debajit da]  Bengali translation

And finally here is my recording: গান - লকলুসা
