Songs of Love, Revolt and Resolve from Bengal

Bengali as a language has lent itself to peoples’ poetry of compassion, resistance and  autonomy. In the long phases of political strives across the world, we invite singer, artist and archivist Moushumi Bhowmik and her long term collaborator Oliver Weeks to share with us inspiring Bengali melodies. 

Moushumi Bhowmik is a singer as well as a collector and archivist of songs and sounds from Bengal. She is based in Kolkata, India, and works between Bangladesh, India and the UK.

Oliver Weeks is a London-based British composer and multi-instrumentalist, whose association with Bengali music goes back three decades.
