A musical tribute titled "Sraboner Dharar Moto" will be released on Tagore's death anniversary, featuring renowned artists Rezwana Choudhury Bannya, Shwapnil Shojib, and Samiul Islam Poluck.

On 22nd Srabon 1432 , August 6, 2025 on the death anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, an evocative musical video titled “Sraboner Dharar Moto” will be released as a tribute to the nobel laureate. This soulful composition features the legendary Rezwana Choudhury Bannya, alongside the acclaimed contemporary voice of Shwapnil Shojib. Conceptualized and directed creatively by Shwapnil himself, the work is a rare convergence of voice, verse, and visual expression. Set to the iconic Tagore song “Sharboner Dharar Moto”, the piece weaves in reflective verses from “Bithika” and “Gitanjali”, infused through the powerful voice of renowned elocutionist Samiul Islam Poluck. Music arrangement is by Nilanjan Ghosh. The production is more than just a musical presentation—it is a lyrical prayer, a meditative offering where rain becomes both literal and metaphorical. The poet’s heart, like parched earth, pleads not for words but for melody—one that quenches the soul and breathes life into silence. Song and poetry merge as a single stream of divine invocation where the soul returns to its source, and art dissolves into prayer.

Rezwana Choudhury Bannya, revered as the eternal voice of Tagore’s music, shares: “While singing this song, I felt as though a silent prayer within me had awakened. Tagore isn’t just a poet of melody he is a poet of silence too. In this video, we’ve tried to capture that inner stillness. Srabon, to me, is always a time of deep reflection and offering. I offer this work to him with profound respect.”

Shwapnil Shojib adds: “I wanted listeners not only to hear the song but to feel it. Sharboner Dharar Moto embodies a soaked ache, a soulful yearning that needed to resonate through sound, poetry, and stillness. Working with Bannya Di has made this journey one of the greatest honors of my life.” Shwapnil shojib named as The Prince of Rabindra Sangeet.

Rezwana Choudhury Bannya is one of South Asia’s most revered musical figures. Recipient of the Independence Day Award (Bangladesh), Padma Shri (India), and Banga Bhushan (West Bengal), she has dedicated her life to preserving and advancing Rabindra Sangeet. Shwapnil Shojib, now based in the USA, is among the most internationally recognized voices of Tagore’s music today. The first Bangladeshi singer invited to the United Nations Youth Delegate Program, he has been honored by the New York State Senate, and awarded globally—from Dubai’s Global Music Award to India’s Tele Cine Award and Nepal’s Iconic Artist Honor. Samiul Islam Poluck, Bangladesh’s most celebrated poetry recitation artist, brings powerful gravitas to the piece. A UNESCO-recognized performer of Bidrohi, he has graced prestigious platforms including the President House of Bangladesh and Rabindra Sadan, Kolkata, and is acclaimed for elevating the recitation into high art.
