Coke Studio Bangla, the Bangladesh edition of Coca-Cola’s international music platform - Coke Studio, dropped the third song of season 3 titled “Obak Bhalobasha”.  This song was published today at 8 pm on Coke Studio Bangla's official YouTube channel.

The newest song of Coke Studio Bangla season 3 is celebrating 40 years of Warfaze with their rendition of the iconic “Obak Bhalobasha”. The song was originally written and composed by the former lead vocal of Warfaze- Babna Karim. 

This time the rendition of the song is composed, arranged, and performed by Warfaze alongside the Coke Studio team. This track is produced by the producer of season 3 Shayan Chowdhury Arnob, Sheikh Monirul Alam Tipu, and Samir Hafiz.  

Originally a cornerstone of Bengali rock music, this iconic song was first brought to life by the legendary band Warfaze in 1994. As pioneers of rock music in Bangladesh, Warfaze has been instrumental in shaping the industry for nearly four decades. Now, they return to their masterpiece with a fresh rendition that pays homage to its iconic classic status. Babna Karim, the former lead vocalist of Warfaze penned the original lyrics amidst the serene yet powerful backdrop of crashing waves on seashore, capturing the untamed beauty of nature. 

This new version, a tribute to the timeless original, is a symphony of nostalgia and innovation. It features a choir, a string orchestra, and the distinctive heavily distorted guitar riffs that define Warfaze's sound. This rendition is not merely a reimagining but rather the true version of the song as it was always meant to be.

Joining Babna Karim on vocals is Palash Noor, while Samir Hafiz and Kamal are on guitar, Shams on keys, Tipu on drums, and Roger on bass.  Coke Studio Bangla’s latest track promises to captivate the audiences with one of the classic hits of the Bangla music industry while introducing this iconic song to the new listeners. The song is available on the official YouTube & Spotify channel of Coke Studio Bangla.
