"Daak" is the debut album of popular pop rock/easy listening band
"Yaatri". It was released in 2006 from G-Series in both Paperback and Cassette format. In 2008 it was re-released as an extended paperback with no booklet. The album was a project mainly consisting of
Rashed Uddin Ahmed Topu and
Emran Khan. Topu wrote all the lyrics for the album while Emran did the keys and programming. Previously, this duo composed two mega hit songs, the first one called
"Nupur" in 2004 for
Tony Vincent Gomes' band mixed album,
"Shopnochura" and the second
"Ekta Gopon Kotha" which was featured in Tony's 2nd compilation in the series,
"Shopnochura 2" in 2005. For "Daak", to complete the tracks, the duo took help from a lot of popular and up and coming artists during that time: Guitarists -
Ahsan Ul Habi Adil, James, Bassists - Shams Alim Biswas, Ishtiaq Hossain Jishan, Vocalists - Armeen Musa, Elita Karim, Simin Saifuddin, Gazi Salahuddin, Monty, and on drums, Tony Vincent Gomes (of
Black/Highway fame). The album was mixed and mastered by talented sound engineer
Buno (of the band,
Bangla). The Sleeve design was done by
Reza and photography was done by the band's friend
Zico. The duo also thanked
North South University Shangskritik Shonghoton (NSUSS) who had been a key influence in the songwriting, lyrics and theme of the album, which is university life in an urban living setting which focuses mostly on friendship, love, independence-dependence, character development and growing up in life. Notable figures in the Bangladeshi Music scene like
Sumon Bassbaba,
Fuad Al-Muqtadir,
Tony Vincent Gomes helped the band immensely in giving them their first break. The band dedicated the album to their fans.
