Abstract
This article explores the legacy act of Calcutta’s first progressive/folk Bengali rock band, Moheener Ghoraguli, founded in 1975 during a time of societal unrest. Emerging as a focal point of urban youth culture, their music, rooted in regional language, and drawing on the 1960s global rock phenomenon and Bengali folk music, fostered a sense of community among the urban Calcutta youth. Unpacking the legacy of Moheener Ghoraguli sheds light on cultural heritage, memory, and peak musical experiences in urban Bengal.
