Information AboutChandrabindu (band) |
|
Chandrabindu (often spelled '''Chandrabindoo'''), based in to arrive as part of the recent flourishing of them were Chandrabindu -->, a name that refers both to the last character in the Bengali alphabet and to a dialogue (very famous among Bengalis ) from the nonsense work '' HaJaBaRaLa '' by Sukumar Ray . The band is known for Chandril's satirical, colloquial lyrics, full of references to current affairs and cultural phenomena. They also sing other types of song, written by Anindyo and Upal. CRITICISMS A common criticism of the band is that their lyrics are shallow or even hollow and the singing very bad. However, these are the criticisms applied by critics generally to the Bangla band movement and not unique to Chandrabindu. In fact, some musical purists who are opposed to Bangla bands have said that whatever quality (especially in lyrics) there was towards the beginning of the movement ended with Chandrabindu, and all subsequent bands were created to cash in on the hype rather than from creative motivations. Another criticism is that, because of the numerous references to current culture, the songs tend to become dated very quickly. For example in the line "Miss Universe Sushmita Sen biggyapone hasen-tasen" ("Miss Universe Sushmita Sen smiles from the advertisements") from the song "Aar Jani Na", the reference is to the proliferation of Sushmita Sen in advertisements immediately after she became Miss Universe . The critics hold that current listeners will have difficulty connecting to the song because one hardly sees Sushmita Sen in advertisements today. Another such reference is "Ar Charls-er Diana nei" ("And there is no Charles with Diana") in the song "Mangal Grahe". BAND MEMBERS
