Early Life & Family Legacy
Shubhashish Mojumder Bappa, widely known as Bappa Mazumder, was born on 5th February into one of Bangladesh’s most revered and artistically rich families. From the very beginning, music was not just an influence—it was his inheritance.
His father, the legendary Pandit Barin Mojumder, was a towering figure in Indian classical music and a visionary music educator, he is the founder principal of the only Muisic College in Bangladesh. Barin Mojumder laid the groundwork for generations of musicians. Bappa’s mother, Ila Mojumder, is herself a celebrated Indian classical vocalist whose artistry and discipline left a profound imprint on the subcontinental music scene.
Immersed in this environment of creativity and excellence, Bappa’s musical sensibilities were nurtured from an early age. Trained formally in classical music under his father’s meticulous guidance, he developed a strong foundation that would later allow him to experiment freely with contemporary genres. His exposure to a wide spectrum of musical forms—ranging from raga to rock—shaped his versatile and boundary-blurring sound.
Bappa is the youngest of three siblings, each deeply embedded in the world of arts and culture. His brother, Partha Sarathi Mojumder, is a prominent musician, while his other brother, Partha Pratim Majumder, is an internationally acclaimed mime artist, celebrated for elevating the art form on the global stage. Their home was more than a household—it was a living conservatory where creativity flourished amid instruments, performances, rehearsals, and passionate dialogue about the arts.
This rare blend of tradition and innovation, discipline and freedom, would define Bappa’s artistic journey. His early life experiences not only honed his technical mastery but also shaped his signature musical identity—deeply emotional, melodically rich, and always rooted in authenticity.
Early 1990s to 2000
Bappa Mazumder began his journey as a professional musician in the early 1990s. His debut solo album Tokhon Bhor Bela was released in 1996, marking the beginning of a remarkable solo career. A year earlier, in 1995, Bappa met Sanjeeb Choudhury through the introduction of Hasan Abidur Reza Jewel. Their creative chemistry was immediate and profound, leading them to collaborate on several music projects.
This collaboration eventually gave birth to Dalchhut, a band initially formed as a duo. In 1996, Dalchhut released their debut album Aah…, which broke away from the conventional sound of the time. The album was well-received, with songs like Shada Moyla and Kaga becoming notable hits and gaining widespread popularity among listeners.
In 1998, Bappa released his second solo album Kothao Keu Nei, further establishing himself as a prolific artist. Around this time, he became increasingly active as a music composer and began his journey as a music producer, working behind the scenes on various projects that would shape the future soundscape of Bangladeshi music.
2000 to 2006
The period between 2000 and 2006 was a landmark phase in Bappa Mazumder’s career, both as a solo artist and as a member of Dalchhut.
In 2001, he released what would become one of his most iconic solo albums, Dhulo Pora Chithi. The album was a massive success and is often considered a milestone in his discography. Tracks like Pori, Bristy Pore, and the title track Dhulo Pora Chithi became instant classics and resonated deeply with audiences across generations.
In 2002, Dalchhut released their second studio album Hridoypur, which is now regarded as one of the greatest albums in the history of Bangladeshi band music. The album featured enduring hits such as Bajji, Gaari Chole Na, Tomakei Bole Debo, and Nosto Shohore, and solidified Dalchhut’s status as one of the leading bands of the time. With increasing popularity, the band expanded to a full lineup and began performing extensively at live shows across the country.
Bappa continued his prolific output, releasing the solo albums Ko’Din Porei Chhuti (2003) and Raatprohori (2004). In the same year, Dalchhut released their third studio album Akashchuri, which once again demonstrated their musical brilliance and became another milestone in the history of Bangladeshi music.
In 2006, Bappa released another record-breaking solo album Din Baari Jaay. This album turned out to be one of the most successful of his career. The title track Din Baari Jaay remains timeless—almost two decades later, the song still holds a special place in the hearts of music lovers and continues to receive admiration for its lyrical and melodic depth.
2012 to 2016
In 2013, Bappa introduced a new stage project titled Bappa Mazumder and Friends—an experimental performance ensemble that blended acoustic, folk, and contemporary rock. Originally conceptualized as a live act, the lineup eventually evolved into the new formation of Dalchhut, bringing fresh energy and direction to the legendary band.
The same year, Bappa released his solo album Beche Thaak Shobuj, followed by Janina Kon Montorey in 2014. Both albums stood out for their unique soundscapes, artistic packaging, and thematic depth. Janina Kon Montorey in particular was praised for its emotional intensity and musical richness, offering listeners a set of beautifully crafted songs that quickly became modern classics.
Also in 2014, Bappa ventured into Rabindra Sangeet with his first full-length tribute album Bendhechhi Amar Pran. The album was warmly received by both traditionalists and younger audiences, earning praise for its respectful yet refreshingly contemporary interpretations of Tagore’s timeless compositions.
Alongside his solo and band projects, Bappa also released a folk-fusion album titled Benanondo under the banner of Bappa Mazumder and Friends. The album’s compositions have since become reference points for modern folk arrangements in Bangladesh, blending rural lyrical aesthetics with sophisticated contemporary production.
In 2016, Bappa reached a new milestone in his career. He signed an international distribution deal with Sony DADC and released his self-titled album Bappa Mazumder to a global audience. The same year, he collaborated with acclaimed Bollywood singer Sona Mohapatra on the Bengali track Bondhure. The song was also translated into Hindi, with both versions performed by Bappa and Sona. The Bengali lyrics were penned by Shahan Kabondho, while the Hindi adaptation was written by renowned lyricist Nusrat Badr.
Later that year, Bappa signed with Yonder Music and began working on his next major project. In 2017, he released the critically acclaimed album Bokaghuri. From this album, the song Janalar Glass emerged as a record-breaking hit, capturing the hearts of both listeners and critics alike. Its poetic lyrics, innovative arrangement, and emotive delivery cemented its place as one of the most iconic songs in Bappa’s career.
2018 to 2022
In 2018, Bappa Mazumder significantly broadened his creative footprint in the Bangladeshi film industry by serving as the music director for Swatta, a feature film directed by Hasibur Reza Kallol. The soundtrack was a groundbreaking success, earning both critical acclaim and massive popular appeal. Two standout tracks—Tor Premete Ondho, performed by James, and Na Jani Kon Montorey, rendered by Momtaz—captured the nation’s imagination. Bappa received the Bangladesh National Film Award for Best Music Composer for Tor Premete Ondho, while both James and Momtaz were honored with National Awards for Best Playback Singer, solidifying Bappa’s legacy as a transformative force in contemporary Bangladeshi cinema.
In 2019, Bappa’s iconic band Dalchhut participated in the Unnayan Concert, a nationwide cultural campaign aimed at promoting national development through music. Touring extensively across the country, Dalchhut reconnected with audiences from diverse regions, reaffirming their relevance and legendary status in the live music scene of Bangladesh.
Despite the global shutdown in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bappa remained actively engaged with his audience. He pioneered virtual concerts from his home studio, successfully hosting the first online ticketed concert in Bangladesh, setting a new benchmark for remote musical experiences. He also introduced a cultural series of corporate webinars, blending music and dialogue to keep the spirit of live performance alive during an unprecedented time.
That same year, Bappa played a pivotal role in two major national events. In March 2020, he was appointed one of the lead music directors for the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of Bangladesh’s independence, held at the National Parade Ground. Collaborating with renowned Indian conductor Atul Raninga, he conducted a full orchestra in a majestic performance that symbolized five decades of national progress.
On 16 December 2020, Bappa led the musical direction for the grand inauguration of the Mujib Year—commemorating the centenary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s birth. The production featured over 100 vocalists, ranging from Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra veterans to rising stars, in one of the most ambitious musical endeavors in Bangladesh’s history. The event was hailed as a landmark cultural achievement.
In September 2022, Bappa embarked on a new chapter with his first-ever solo concert, titled Alive Experience by Bappa Mazumder. The event broke attendance records and was widely praised for its production quality, emotional depth, and Bappa’s commanding live presence. Riding the wave of this success, he undertook an Australian tour with Dalchhut, performing in six shows across five states. The tour was met with overwhelming enthusiasm from the Bangladeshi diaspora, further cementing Bappa’s international stature.
That same year, he curated and produced the compilation album Beautiful Voices: Session One, featuring prominent female vocalists including Ankhi Alamgir, Kona, Konal, Elita, Joyita, and Tina Russell. The album showcased a rich diversity of vocal textures, unified by Bappa’s sophisticated musical direction.
2023 to 2025
In 2023, Bappa released his debut live album, Alive Experience by Bappa Mazumder, a curated compilation of recordings from his acclaimed solo concert. The album included a live rendition of Tor Premete Ondho, which received widespread acclaim and resonated deeply with listeners.

In February 2024, Bappa hosted his second major solo concert, Bappa Mazumder’s Odyssey, a grand live event that once again became the talk of the town. Held before a packed audience, the concert was praised for its cinematic musicality and narrative depth.
In April 2024, Dalchhut released their long-awaited studio album Sanjeeb, a tribute to the band’s late co-founder Sanjeeb Choudhury.
