Obak Bhalobasha | Coke Studio Bangla | Season 3 | Warfaze

There are songs that fade with time, and then there is this masterpiece. #ObakBhalobasha isn't just a song; it’s a love affair within the starlight, whispered by the wind, burning bright for generations. This timeless piece has been the track to teenage dreams, kindling senses, and pure joy since the 90’s.
Entering on their 40th year, Warfaze, one of the pioneer bands of rock music in our industry, re-envisions this golden track. This love affair started when the lead vocalist penned the lyrics amidst the crashing waves on a seashore of Cox’s Bazar- the longest uninterrupted natural beach in the world.
This new rendition, a tribute to the cult classic, accompanied by a choir, a stringed orchestra and a heavily distorted guitar riff, Warfaze creates the harmonious symphony of nostalgia. A nostalgia that sparks the same fire in the hearts of youth today as it did for their parents and elder siblings. It reminds us of the #RealMagic of love and nature that is like the spirit of youth, truly timeless.
