I'm an avid Bangla music album collector in this hobby since 2012. Having grown up in the "Underground" era of Bangla band music, I took the initiative to archive and upload album artworks. Till now, I've been recognised and acknowledged by various artists, bands, streaming and label companies for my work on Bangla CD Covers. There's a high chance most artwork you see floating around the internet are scanned by me!

Jahaji by Shironamhin

"Jahaji" is the debut album of famous independent band of Bangladesh, Shironamhin . It was initially released on November 1, 2004 from Rabbit Communications, following a reproduction and re-release from G-Series in 2005, after the band landed a record deal with the latter. According to the band, Jahaji is based around the struggles of living in an urban setting as stated in the title track. The band also portrayed the daily life of a young middle-class career seeking "sailor" or "Jahaji". Highly incorporating metaphors to convey messages regarding the urban lifestyles is what set apart Shironamhin and the band became quite a force to be reckoned with in the Bangladeshi band music scene. Coincidentally, Jahaji is the only album of the band that was refused and rejected by every known record/label company of Dhaka. The album was recorded well before 2004. Songs like, "Hashimukh" and "Lal Nil Golpo" have been critically acclaimed and are ...
