After a prolonged hiatus, Bangladesh’s renowned rock ensemble, Band Six, has made a remarkable return to the national music scene with the release of their new music video and single, ‘Valobashi’. Unveiled on Friday evening, the track is now available across all major international music streaming platforms and is featured as part of the band’s eagerly awaited second album.
The song’s composition and lyrics were crafted by the band’s drummer, Arif Shishir, drawing inspiration from personal experiences of love and heartbreak. Band bassist Rakhibul Romans revealed that Band Six had been inactive since December 2015, which had delayed the progress of their second album. However, in 2025, the members reunited to explore fresh creative directions. Guitarist and producer Rezwan Ashraf, currently residing abroad, played a pivotal role in shaping the song’s musical direction, bringing a contemporary edge to the band’s signature rock sound.
The accompanying music video, directed by Shaorin, artfully blends the song’s emotional narrative with Band Six’s distinctive rock aesthetic. ‘Valobashi’ holds particular significance as the follow-up release to the first single of their second album, ‘Ei To Shomoy 2’, marking a new chapter in their musical journey.
Founded in 2008, Band Six first rose to prominence by winning the Nescafé Get Set Rock competition, establishing a solid foundation for rock music in Bangladesh. Over the years, the band has cultivated a loyal fan base while inspiring a new generation of musicians.
