Milestone melody: Music enthusiasts embrace the 20th edition of Ebong Rubesh, making it a clear hit

The vibrant energy of Kolkata pulsed through the packed venue for the 20th edition of 'Ebong Rubesh' on April 6 at a city cafe. More than just a concert, it was a heartfelt celebration of Rubesh Sircar's enduring musical journey and the special bond he shares with his audience. The milestone event resonated deeply as he presented a selection of his original compositions, seamlessly weaving between English and Bengali lyrics.

Rajoshi Bhattacharya, a long-time admirer, shared her experience: "The first time I saw his performance at Beleghata HQ, which is his home, I loved it. I admire his songs because at this time when I listen to other Bengali original songs, Rubesh Da's songs have something different – it's the uniqueness of the lyrics, the compositions. He is a very bright and positive person, it reflects in his songs as well. His songs talk about healing, introspection, and love. I loved the way he connects with people while performing. I believe one day his songs will reach more people and looking forward to more concerts of Rubesh da." Rajoshi's words beautifully capture the essence of Rubesh's appeal – his ability to craft songs that resonate deeply, imbued with positivity and fostering a joyful connection with his listeners.

Reflecting on his 20th "Ebong Rubesh," Rubesh Sircar said, "My 20th edition of Ebong Rubesh was a memorable milestone, where I performed a selection of my original compositions in both English and Bengali to a packed house. I was joined on stage by the talented Shrestha Das, Rajoshi Bhattacharyya, and Shiladitya, who lent their voices to several of my songs. The evening concluded on a high note with a surprise performance by Upal Sengupta, whose rendition of 'Bheshe Jaay Adorer Nouko' left the audience spellbound." This statement highlights not only the success of the event but also the collaborative spirit that defined the evening, culminating in a truly special moment with Upal Sengupta's surprise appearance.

Barnini Chakraborty, another attendee, echoed the sentiment of many, stating, "The performance was outstanding. I am a fan of Rubesh’s singing and his compositions. I thoroughly enjoyed ‘Ebong Rubesh’."
