Entertainment Report :
Obscure is one of the oldest musical bands in the country. In 1985, the band started its journey with the hands of Tipu. Obscure’s only success story since the beginning of the journey to till date. As a vocalist, Tipu could build his own solo career if he wanted to. But at one time, he released solo albums Ekaki Ekjon (1990), Bhaber Pagol (1992), Rongdhonu Hote Chai (2006) and the latest Rabindra Sangeet album Sokol-e Furalo (2008). But he had no plans to leave Obscure and pursue
a career alone. While talking in this regard Tipu said, “My dream was to establish a band. That’s why when I was releasing my solo albums, I had
a feeling in my mind that playing like this is actually harmful for my team. Obscure’s first album, released from Sargam in 1985, was Obscure Volume One. A number of songs from the album, including Majh ratey chand jodi alo na bilai and Kolikaler Vondobaba got
a huge response from the music-lovers. With the first album, Obscure also got a response in the music industry as a band. Other band groups also started thinking about them. This was followed by Obscure Volume Two, Swapnocharini, Ferate Tomai, Apekkhai Theko, Ichhchher Dakadaki, Fera, Obscure and Bangladesh, Stop Genocide and many more. It is true that I have no formal education in music. Ever since
I was a child, I used to listen to songs by Manna Dey, Sondhya Mukherjee, Lata Mungeshkar and Asha Bhosle. Listening to Tapan Chowdhury’s songs from the Bangladeshi band Souls made me thinking about music. Tapan Dada was my main inspiration in music. Then I am walking in the
world of music and still going on.”
