Hemango Biswas Archive, Rongili Biswas sings Ekti Pahari Nadi





This is Hemango Biswas' last composition based on a folk tune of Guangdong Province, China. In 1957 he was sent to China for the treatment of his tuberculosis that he contacted in jail. He stayed there for almost two and half years, learnt Chinese, wrote a couple of books (travalogue/ political analysis) and corresponded with his Chinese friends till the end. This song is an ode to the beautiful Chinese landscape and its people. Performed at Ahindra Mancha, 21.12.2015 (Murilidhar College Platinum Jubilee)
